Frankly, from my own library, I don't believe that.
I have a number of albums, most of which are definitely on iTunes and
which have pretty much standard encodings (lame encoded mp3@192kbps)
but which have somewhat systematically broken tags because they went
through some id3 version confusions (added spaces, sometimes part of
the title or genre or artist truncated).

None of those was found by match.

I believe they go by tags and maybe fingerprints they set themselves in
the AAC encoding of iTunes files and that's it.
