Yes, F/A-22 has thrust vectoring but only in the pitch direction up and down , like you can clearly see in this picture

at left pos from down to up:
7.6 ---------> max G's during flight
G 1.7 -------> current G's
M 0.36------> current Mach number
alpha 20.3--> current angle of attack
number on the left in the rectangle ----------> current speed in kts
number on the right in the rectangle --------> current altitude in feet
on the right
200 Vc -------> target range rate in knots closing speed is positive
the big W is the Fixed Airplane Symbol
1000 Ft -------> closing altitude
scale left to the lower right reading 20...25...30...35 ------> the pitch ladder in degree at an angle half that of the flight path of the aircraft to the horizon, positive pitch lines are solid, and negative pitch lines are dashed like in this case and because it is projected under a angle is because aircraft is banking to the left , so that inverted fligth is easily recognised, this indication is infact a ADI indicator on a aircraft
the scale on top middle with the ^ index is the heading indicationwith the ^ as heading bug
the little aircraft symbol in the lower part of picture is the velocity vector, points to the actual direction the aircraft is flying, this limited to 8 degree radius circle if exceeded it begins to flash
so , I think this explains almost everthing of the HUD symbols
