I'm kinda sure its the 'true' FL coz the EF series is also used on full-frame DSLR's and film SLR, just not 100% sure.
Helps my filmSLR brain to know for sure.....

Focal length is folcal length.
There is no "true" of "false" focal length.
However, there is a thing called FOV (Field of View) which differs, dependig on the size of sensor used in particular body.
