Please read up on IPv4 classes. Classes are not determined by the size
of
the network address. 192.x.x.x is a class B address. 63.x.x.x (that you
mentioned in a part I snipped) is a class A address. They may hand these
out in /24 sizes, but the class remains the same. Also, non-routable is
a misnomer. Nothing prevents misconfigured routers from routing the
true private networks (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16)
to anywhere in the world, and many routers do.

Now that that's over, no, 192.0.0.0/8 is _not_ a private network. To
prove this to yourself, traceroute f.root-servers.net, or just do
a 'dig' (or dnsqr ) on it:
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
a.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 198.41.0.4
f.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 192.5.5.241
j.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 198.41.0.10
k.root-servers.net. 5w6d16h IN A 193.0.14.129
