It could be that, but then it's not 'digital', and the Canon's representative from the OP said it was digital multiplication between the 1-stop ISOs.

I would not expect a public-facing rep to know the difference between 1/3-stop gain granularity in the first amp, "digital" (integer math) pushes, and 1/3 and 2/3 stop gain from a secondary amp. I would have to talk to that rep enough to know if he understands all these possibilities before I would assume that he knew what he was talking about.

Of course, it may be the case that with a combination of HTP, lighting with one weak color channel, and e-shutter, that ISO 160 may have more visible read noise than ISO 200 in shadows.
