I agree that bethonged buttocks are naked. But the OP confused the issue by referring to the ass. An ass is more than just a pair of buttocks. It is the whole unit which includes the buttocks along with the crack and the anus. So an ass can be covered by a thong (at least key portions of it anyway) even when the buttocks are naked.
