I know I'm super late, but I figured I'd chime in quick. I think "IPS" is one of those buzzwords that everyone in the scene just uses without thought. We sell some handheld stuff (like the Freeplay Zero/CM3 and these LCD kits) and people often ask if they're IPS (if we don't specify). I think what they really care about is the viewing angle. The IPS LCDs are known to have a good view from all directions and at fairly wide angles. The LCDs that are not IPS will often have one angle that's better than others. For these small LCDs, it's often a portrait orientation that's best, but the LCDs get used in a landscape orientation (for handheld game consoles) and then the optimal angle isn't perfect.
