"The aim of FreeREG is to provide free Internet searches of baptism, marriage, and burial records, which have been extracted from parish registers, non-conformist records and other relevant sources in the UK."

So yes - "register entry number" is whatever the record's number is on whichever of the above sources it comes from.
