Was it a converted garage?

I'm not sure what you mean by "2"-2.5" of tarpaper".
What I see in your picture reminds me of many buildings that I've inspected that originally had low-sloped roofs. After battling leaks for decades, they construct a new sloped-roof structure over the original. This creates a new attic space, with the old, built-up hot roof as the floor of the attic.

That's what it looks like; a BUR with a new roof framed over it and a hole cut in the old deck.

Might be. It wouldn't concern me; to inhale asbestos from that, you'd have to break off chunks, grind them up into powder and then snort the stuff. That's a lot of effort to go to in order to kill oneself. You'd probably breath more asbestos fiber driving down the interstate on a dry dusty day than you'd inhale there in 100 years.
