If you own Java Edition, you also own Bedrock Edition and vise versa.

Is that true? I thought if you had bought java before a certain point you automatically got bedrock when it launched, but it's still just one license?

Yep! If you owned either one before June 7th 2022, you got the other one automatically given to you. And if you didn't own either of them before that date and you buy from the official website you get both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.
