It's all right, you're using the right plugin. The difference in reported versions between Adobe's test page and about:plugins is a known issue (https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin/blob/master/doc/known-issues.md#flash-version-is-incorrect).

You are correct and this is a reason why adobe-flashplugin is recommended over pepperflashplugin-nonfree (+ the browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash wrapper in both cases, if using Firefox).
