It is not a 35mm equivalent (whatever that really is from brand to brand).

If you do the math 23 * 1.5 = 34.5. So it appears it is wider than a 35mm FF camera 35mm lens.

But nothing moving closer or farther away from your subject can't fix.

I was thinking that Fuji crop factor is ~ 1.52. So with the conversion, you're in the 34.96mm (35mm) ball park.

This being said, it's the FOV of the lens that matters in the end. I can't find where anyone actually measured the true FOV of this lens.

How did you come up with the 1.52> I've never seen it listed as that.

I looked it up here and out on the web. It was calculated from the actual dimension although I didn't check the calculations.
