"They" like to say yes, that we scrum. Practically I have a manager that calls biweekly meetings and hands out work to be done in one or two weeks. Which usually is more than enough, but I manage to get everything done "on time".

Every two weeks sounds great. At my last company "they" decided to do scrum. We had stand-ups daily (with 2 developers) and it was horrible micromanagement. They send out our burndown chart every day and if we were behind, the "scrum master" would constantly ask why and if we would make it on time. We had to do estimates and story refinement for hours. It was a huge mess. I quit and will never work for a company that is like that again.

I think "scrum" refers to daily standups. I may be wrong though.

Scrum is a process with way more than just daily stand ups. Obviously a company can do whatever works for them, but formal 'scrum' involves time-delineated sprints, planning meetings, demos, retrospectives, the daily stand ups, pointing stories and a handful of other aspects.

NB: I'm not trying to advocate for it - it works for some teams, but everyone is different.

It probably is. I might never know. People use the words "agile" and "scrum" very liberally at least around here.
