Not necessarily. "Official" means the one the child officially recognizes and everyone else recognizes as that person's parent. Biological simply means the one that actually fathered them but may not actually be considered by others as the real parent (for instance, the father may not even realize they fatherd a child).

Take for instance Amavet's children: Muriel and Crispin. In lore, their father was passed off as their mother's (dead) husband, Roger. However, they were actually bastard children (Amavet's) but if that was recognized, the family would have lost access to Roger's title and money, so they were officially stated to be Roger's children though their real/biological father was Amavet.
