The battle is mentioned in passing in the MotC's case file for it, by the waiter of the Graveyard, and in timelines and the Fanbook's out-of-universe aftermath for DoE characters. In that, it's simply stated Gumillia disappears following the battle and "Julia Abelard" is defeated.

It's never said what happened, who "won" or whether "Julia Abelard" means Irina herself or just her Germaine body was defeated, let alone if anyone actually died.

So no, Ma's only lie about Merrigod would be a lie of omission.
