Yes, SSL_read() interprets the TLS record type and only passes application
data records through to the application.  It doesn't exactly "throw away"
the other records, though -- they still get processed, just internally to
libssl :)
I expect based on heuristics that the 485 bytes are a NewSessionTicket
message, but that actual length is very much not a protocol constant and is
an implementation detail of the TLS server.  (That said, an openssl server
is going to be producing the same length every time, for a given version of
openssl, unless you configure it otherwise.)
