Thank you.

That American dictionary says it does.

It's not used in British English.

 

[teechar]

Yes, it does.


For example,

And here's a wrap-up of today's main news.
=
And here's a summary of today's main news.

In some textbooks, at the end of a chapter, a chapter summary is given so is it also a chapter wrap-up?

Thank you.

Summary is the usual term. "Wrap-up" would look somewhat forced to me: possible but not very natural.
