Yes, exactly right. The kind of fruit is determined by the tree. Cross-pollination can produce seeds that will grow trees that will grow fruit with crossed characteristics, such as the tree under discussion.
IOW, its PARENT may have been cross-pollinated, but the tree's proximity to tangerines has nothing to do with the kind of fruit it produces
