Why would I post something like that when either of them wasn't trying to kill the other. Tony could've used his tank destroying blast or Thor could've used, a tornado. Tony still did well against Thor and neither of them hurt the other (even though it's highly debatable if Thor was holding back). That armor Tony used against Thor would've been destroyed in seconds against wither Hulk or the armor Tony used to fight Hulk. Also, using your argument, Thor was irrelevant to the Hulk since Hulk wasn't damaged at all.
So I haven't seen AoU yet but I can say this about the IM/Thor fight in the first one Thor clearly outclassed IM.
I think the exchange that pretty much tells you so was when Thor begins crushing Tony's armor Tony blasts him point blank in the face with his Repulsor blasts, given an amp by Thor, and it does not do anything to Thor. Then Tony tries to headbutt Thor which also does nothing while Thor's headbutt clearly damages the armor and knocks Tony back.
