AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says

Is it true that ATP synthase functions as and is referred to as ATPase?

Yes. ATP synthase is classified as an F-ATPase because it can catalyze both the synthesis of ATP and, in reverse, the decomposition of ATP into ADP and phosphate.
