I may be wrong, but that doesn't look like an AP2 key.

Don't our keys have microchips in them so the car can't be started, even if the grooves are the same? I think you're going to have to go through Honda to get a new key.

There is an old thread about these. You have to cut the chip out of your stock key. Take the new JDM key apart and grind a hole in the key. Then mount the chip and glue it back together. If you don't the JDM key will not start your car.

That's not an AP2 key. Honda went Lexus, and started cutting grooves into the keys.

For what it's worth, I too ended up with only one key and remote. I had a new key made at the Honda Dealership this week. It cost about 45 dollars. They made the new key in a matter of minutes. They referred to it as a T5 key and it has "T5" printed on the key. I didn't get another remote, but they quoted me a price of $108 as I recall.
