Gain a +2 conditional bonus to damage rolls with melee weapons and unarmed Strikes. The bonus is halved if your weapon or unarmed Strike is agile. This bonus increases by 1 at level 3 and every 4 levels thereafter.
This is unambiguous. You can deal extra damage with any melee attack, but I'm curious if it would make sense to allow barbarians to also get this bonus damage with thrown weapons. The most common narrative reasoning for the extra damage is your rage makes you stronger, and therefore hit harder. This narrative seems like it should also apply to thrown weapons, to me at least. Though an interesting note, a barbarian can still get the bonus damage while using a finesse weapon and attacking with DEX. I can see not getting the bonus damage with bows, but only because there isn't any sort of overdraw mechanic.
