I don't work at Google. But yes I am sure as can be about the statement. I've seen it stated by Googlers before.
Notice the callback param is NOT documented: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/v2/index.html As such anything not listed there, is not offical, nor supported. (the fact that the 'callback' param, happens to partly work is just incidental. Its probably used internally by the real API, but that doesn't mean you are allowed to use it) (While you are at it, you might like to read the "Usage Limits" section on the above page too. This whole converstation might be mute, and you not allowed to even use the Geocoding API at all anyway.)
