Hello, I'm glad you found that. I didn't find any resources in the Java API to interact with the albumType field. However, I did add a work-around some time ago.
You can filter out those albums by appending the URL param: "&hidestreamid=photos_from_posts". The sibling query for retrieving only those albums is "streamid=photos_from_posts". I hope that helps.
