Good assumption, even if it turns out not to be true in this case. I would not, for example, have assumed that the phone number in the message was a genuine FBI office number unless independently verified.
Why the FBI would need that much detailed information for the stated purposes is also suspicious. All they really need to know is whether or not the developer responsible for uploading to the alternative market is the same as the one uploading on Google. They do not need the developer's full contact info for that. If they were really concerned with fighting piracy rather than reaping domestic intelligence, they could have a third party compare contact info and let them know which are matches w/o revealing the data: kind of like a "contact information escrow agent".
