I'm pretty sure that's the case, otherwise getting your first heroic kill and an heirloom would be a drag, even though you've killed him on RF/Flex/Whatever. Why not just try to do him on Flex or another difficulty tier? It's still better than nothing in terms of leveling, and it's something while you try to get the whatever version you're looking for.
And I'm assuming you got a normal mode kill, I guess there's your incentive to really push heroic? I'm currently on Blackfuse, so I'm hoping to get a chance at my heroic heirloom sometime in the next 2-3 weeks!
