Yes -

p21 is the L2 norm of the divergence, which is the residual
of the pressure solve.

p22 is the norm of the residual for the velocity in the Helmholtz solve. 
If you are solving  H u = ( -h1*Lap + h2) u = f, the iteration stops when

      \int  h1^2 grad u . grad u + h2^2 u^2 dV / vol < tol = p22
