Yes that type R factory time is not really credible.
But the time you list for the Type R is incorrect: SportAuto tested the type R for 8:01. And that time might be a bit slow as they've also tested the M2 at 8:01, so an equal time.

Of course the longer/straighter/faster the track gets the more an m4 or m2 gets into its advantage over a civic because the civic is down 60hp on the m2 and 120hp on the m4. So it performs better on tracks with narrow slow corners where it can gain time with the better handling/braking.
