Call of The Mists Buff
Unless I am wrong on this, though are not Pvp modes, and though are World vs World modes. Pvp the lobby to join a 5 vs 5 fight.

Why does wiki say WvW is PvP then?
They really should call it Spvp since thats what the buff helps

All PvP game modes, does this include WvW and EotM?
“PvP” is one of those terms that has more than one meaning and which one can only be determined by context.
- In generic usage, “PvP” means any area with player-vs-player competition. In GW2, that includes WvW. In other games, it arguably includes so-called PvE zones, since players might (in those games) compete over nodes or be able to steal loot.
- In specific usage, “PvP” means only “Structured PvP”, which is meant to include just the single game mode in which one small, player team competes against another for short matches, with pre-defined rules. Arguably, WvW is just “structured” differently.
Similarly, “WvW” also has two meanings: one that includes Edge of the Mists (for combat mechanics, builds, etc) and one that does not (people hardly ever mean “EotM” when they are discussing “WvW rewards” etc.).
tl;dr whenever you see “PvP” or "WvW’, assume the most-restrictive definition, unless the context clearly shows it’s meant more generically.

This effect is universal and applies to all characters and all PvP modes.
So this statement is false?
Here is your answer:

Does not apply to any part of the game that does not follow the “normalization rules of equipment” like al weapons are exotic and you wear an amulet instead of armour.
Since WvW uses PvE equipment, you do no get the buff.
That does not mean that a +15% bonus to WXP would not be appreciated, Anet Dev’s just never included it in the buff.

No, the statement is accurate, depending on the context. “All PvP modes”, in the context, refers to ranked, unranked, and arena; the bonus applied to each. WvW is not included in “PvP” for the purposes of such bonuses.
