There's no real common modern usage of "Albion" except in the name of football teams (West Bromwich Albion, Albion Rovers, Stirling Albion) - so it doesn't really mean one more than the other in English. Some people might say it comes from an old celtic word and therefore refers to Scotland, others might say it's from Latin and refers to England or the whole island of Britain. I've no idea which is "right" but the word just doesn't come up in everyday English.
