Technically truth is just the commonly accepted answer and not an objective fact of reality. It doesn't have to be a fact, or even real. Just that the majority of people think it is.
I would call that belief, while "truth" is anything that's supported by facts.
Plainly incorrect, but okay

Sure but whatever definition you use, they cross it too far.
