No, the undo command just tells you that Fossil has some unspecified way to 
achieve an undo.  It doesn’t tell you how it accomplishes that.

I don’t want Fossil users to be required to think about how undo is implemented 
when they ask Fossil, “What just happened?”

No, latest is “now.”  “Last” is “then”.  (“When will now, be then?”  “Soon.”)

If it’s the “L” that’s hanging you up, there are synonyms.  --prior and --prev 
come to mind.
