Yes it does matter if she is talking of her siksa or her diksa guru. It's not merely a matter of semantics; it's a matter of accuracy and precision. As a matter of FACT, unless she's taken diksa (unless she is at least first-initiated, in other words) she's formally a disciple of nobody at all. "ONE and ONLY" is an overstatement and is hyperbolic in nature. She also mentions Srila Prabhupada and Srila Bhaktisiddhantha. As a Vaisnava, she would also have reverence and respect for Jesus Christ, The Prophet Muhammad, Lord Buddha, and all other bona fide representatives of Godhead. Also, notice how she mentions Srila Prabhupada first. She is not gushing with enthusiasm for Chris Butler from the start. So to call Butler her "one and only" is just not accurate.
