From what Mulan says, she learned the visual cues that indicate someone isn't a true animal, but a human transformed.

But given that she did not know Phillip was transformed when she first saw him, how could she learn to recognize those cues?

So yes, while he was the one referenced, I'm still trying to make sense of how Mulan could learn the cues if she didn't notice them in the first place.
