No, Shmuel's point is that, while no one gainsays that "UNIX Systems Services" is IBM terminology, IBM has not associated the acronym USS with it in its 'official listing'.
The URL you supply indeed supports his view. In <begin extract> UNIX System Services An element of z/OS that creates a UNIX environment that conforms to XPG4 UNIX 1995 specifications and that provides two open-system interfaces on the z/OS operating system: an application programming interface (API) and an interactive shell interface. UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program (UUCP) The command (uucp) that starts file copying from one or more sources to a single destination. A group of commands, programs, and files that allows the user to communicate with another UNIX system over a dedicated line or a telephone line. </end extract> the entry for UNIX Systems Services is not followed by an acronym, while that for UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program is followed by one, (UCFP). This pother has nevertheless gone on long enough, indeed too long, as Schmuel apparently also agrees.
