Or did they just verify an official account of a government entity?

Define Verification: to state that you approve of the user/org and officially recognise it. So they did both.

It does. Implicitly

No, that's ridiculous. Verification in online services means that this particular account is verified to be the actual account of said government identity. You just confirm their identity, not state that you're giddy that they joined, mate.
