iPod touch original ios?

Hi! I restored to ios 7.1.2 using an IPSW which I downloaded from iphonehacks.com(I think) and when dwnloading it downloaded it from applnd.apple.com/.....(or something like this I don't remember exactly I think-the dots dots dots are just because I din't remember the whole link). So I was going to ask you that it's genuine right? I mean it can't be counterfeit ios? Downloading an ipsw is the same as updating from your device OTA(Over the Air) right? I mean it's genuine and everything?

It if installed, it's original. Because of the signature checks, only an authentic Apple IPSW can be installed onto A5 and newer devices.
