Is it true that the colors, shapes, and patterns seen when pressing or rubbing the closed eyes are called phosphenes?

Yes. A reference article states that the most common phosphenes are pressure phosphenes caused by rubbing or pressing on or near the closed eyes, and that these experiences include colored patches and well-defined shapes. A second reference confirms phosphenes are bursts of light or color seen with closed eyes, and a third describes phosphenes as perceived light and shapes when pressure is applied to the eye.
