The Code Construction Act says that if a term is not defined in the law, then it has the same meaning as the common usage of the term. I think most people would say that the term belt means something going around the waist (I will grant the exception is machine gunners).
I could see where you can certainly argue that a belly band is a type of belt, though I would not have thought so. I do not expect this to come up very often since that would most likely be concealed anyway.
But I do not see how anyone could honestly think the average jury member would say that an ankle holster is a belt holster. I could be wrong, but I would not think an openly visible ankle holster would be legal. I would not recommend chancing it.

Your best option for under dash mounting will be to rig up a holster with retention. But, in the event of a serious impact your holster with retained pistol might still go flying through the car. Interior panels, especially if they're old, aren't meant to retain loads. Food for thought.
