No, you recall incorrectly; that's a rough definition of a fact claim.
A fact is a true fact claim.
It's important to be clear about this, because some people seem to think that "it's a fact, therefore it's true". Facts aren't indisputably true, they are indisputably facts. True and false is a different scale.
