Well, Corning sold the brand name Pyrex around 2000. A post-2000 Pyrex item may not have the same composition as the Corning product you're more familiar with.

The composition of the Pyrex glass sold in North America did change from borosilicate glass to soda-lime glass when the brand changed hands, yes. But the important thing about "glass not breaking at high temperatures" has much more to do with the annealing process than it does the type of glass.
