Yes, it's true even for android. From: https://www.android.com/pay/

Your card info stays safe When you use your phone to pay in stores, Android Pay doesn’t send your actual credit or debit card number with your payment. Instead we use a virtual account number to represent your account info – so your card details stay safe and secure.

So, just as trackable as a credit card number. Or are virtual account numbers unique per transaction?

I believe Apple Pay works the same in this respect so the virtual account number is not cycled per transaction. I can't remember if it's cycled per vendor or just unique per device.
