That's what we are talking about, yes. > I understand a 'Linux partition' to be one that has a > partition ID = 83h as discussed here: My understanding is ye olde partition type ID numbers are basically irrelevant comments at this point. You can set them so that you see a nice human-readable type name when you run "fdisk -l" or the equivalent, but it's not actually used for anything. You could have a Linux ext4 file system on a partition that's marked as type "Microsoft basic data" or anything else.
