To be fair, Brillo do make that kind of scrubbing cloth and they do call it a scouring pad. It’s entirely possible that he did have an actual Brillo product that had “pad” printed on the packaging
Oh good point, I didn’t think to check where they were sold. I’m also in the UK and would, when hearing “brillo pad”, assume the same one you did. It’s possible I heard my American ex refer to the green cloths as brillo pads at some point though

I think those might be USA only products?
You know how in the USA you guys call tissues kleenex, this would be like you saying kleenex but meaning kitchen towel or loo roll or something.
