>> Is this Arthur c Clarke’s space elevator? <<

No. No asteroid involved in a space elevator, but a super-strong strand is required for the space elevator.

You would have to have a super strong strand for this too. A captured asteroid would also work well for a Clarke elevator. a lot less to put into orbit.
