Yes. /dev/sda1 has the type "BIOS boot" but is actually used as an EFI 
system partition, according to df and /etc/fstab. So it should have the 
type "EFI system".

The details for other detected OSes are provided by os-prober. The entry 
title for the main OS is derived from the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR variable in 
/etc/default/grub. You can tweak it to fit your needs. If lsb-release is 
installed, changing -i to -d will provide more details such as the 
Debian version and codename.
