If looking at the strict basic definitions of MVC and API then you are
100% correct.

But if you use the terms in the more informal way that are common
among web developers then the question makes perfect sense - and are
in fact a question most Java web developers are considering these
days.

MVC = server side HTML generation using Java MVC web framework like
Struts, Spring MVC and to some extent JSF.

API = JavaScript application running client side (using AngularJS
or similar framework, could be a single page application) talking
to server side API which in Java typical would be JAX-RS based.

Very standard choice.

If you were in the .NET world then you would chose between
ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web API.

That is true.
