Is this true?
No, they made it up. There's nothing special about the USB C port on any Apple products.
Nope
Not sure about USBC, but it was in their lightning cables.
It's not farfetched that they would also add it to their "certified USBC".

Edit: apple isn't hiding this program, either. Nor should they. It has merit. But it can be abused, as it was with certified lighting cables.
