Programmatically measure cycles consumption

I have a question regarding the dynamic cycles cost for update call execution. In the cost table it says:

Ten Update Instructions Execution
For every 10 instructions executed when executing update type messages

Do “instructions” refer to the number of Wasm instructions for the virtual machine? Or is it machine instructions after JIT compilation for some real CPU?

I assume it is the former but I would like to have it confirmed.
