In an MBR-Legacy BOOT configuration, the MBR (or EMBR if used) directs the System as to where to go for BOOTing. In a normal System MBR configuration it is directed to the ACTIVE partition for BOOTing... but it may be directed anywhere by the MBR BOOT code, including an EFI partition located anywhere on that disk.
Steve is correct, the BOOT code used for MBR Systems is actually located in Partition #2, the EFI partition, which is fine... it can be anywhere the MBR BOOT code directs it to be. Longpanda has chosen to use the same partition for BOOTing regardless of whether the System is MBR-Legacy or UEFI-GPT configured... there's no problem with this that I know of.
