No, that's not what Frustration Free Packaging is. "FFP" is just easy to open cardboard product packaging, basically no blister packs.

They still put your FFP box into another bigger shipping box.

This depends on the product. Significant amounts of FFP are meant to reduce waste and not require overboxing.

from the description:

"Amazon.com works with manufacturers to box products in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging, which reduces the overall amount of packing materials used."

Also:

"It’s designed and tested to ship to customers in its own packaging without the need for additional Amazon packaging."
