in the Vim source there is no distinction made between matching a filename against a pattern or matching a filetype name agains a pattern during an auto-command (see function match_file_pat() in src/fileio.c). And because filetype names are ultimately linked to filenames of filetype plugins and syntax files (I know I repeat myself) the way they are in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin.vim (i.e., by just using the value of the 'filetype' option) this makes sense.
