Actually... My SMC router uses mere WEP encryption, and uses a pass-phrase to calculate a one-time WEP key. So he might not be confusing the two at all.
Oh, and I'd say the MAC adress filter is pretty much a false security - it's relatively easy to spoof a MAC adress, so once you find out what it needs to be, you can hack it. Encryption is much better.
