It's kind of essential to make the distinction when discussing anything MeeGo. It may well be that Vanjoki was referring to to this "code dump" version. I can promise you I'll eat a hat full of sh** if N900 comes to Brazil in May running anything else than Maemo 5 out of the box.
I am aware there will be a "core dump" version by the end of the month and this doesn't mean official support for N900, but I work at a commercial area and I don't think a VP from a major company would talk about pre-alpha on N900... the audience of that press release was journalists, not developers, and they were announcing all the new models which are about to arrive on Brazil. The article I posted was from a reliable news site, which mainly cover IT business, not technical stuff. I emailed the journalist saying that he might be wrong but he told that confirmed the news with Nokia Brazil. If Vanjoki meant the "core dump" version he passed the wrong idea for a lot of journalists, since the news was posted in other sites... Anyway, feel free to eat whatever you want!!
