I think this is a good guess. This explanation reminds me of the Beginner's Hall in the Sector 7 Slumsa when the various icons are being explained. When they get to the finger icon, Cloud says something like "Finger? What the hell?" So I think it's safe to say that they can see some things that only the player should see.
I'm sure that if it was Aerith, it would be writed in "Maiden". But it isn't, meaning that it wasn't her.
