A metro in Google-speak generally refers to all of the peering locations in a given city or metro area, not specifically a single IXP.
For example, if you look at the PeeringDB entry for AS15169 (https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/15169 https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/15169), for the London "metro" there's public peering available on LINX at 3 different POPs, and private peering available at Digital Realty, 3 different Equinix POPs, and 2 Telehouse POPs.
