The sticker means nothing, as does just plugging it in. If the firmware is hacked your computer will think it's a 16GB model, because the player itself thinks that. You'll only notice when the memory fills up and stuff starts getting overwritten, or you get access errors.

You need to run the special format program and see what that reports. You can find the instructions and download links here.

I can also confirm, 2 gig, 4 gig card works but make sure its a class 4 card as some players dont like the class 6.
That they support 4 gb cards is known, but bigger sizes are still a question mark. If you ever happen across a 8+gb MicroSD/TF card you could try and see if it reads that as well, though I'm not sure if there are 8+GB cards that are lower than class 6.
Or I might try it myself if I buy it...

You should run the format utility as soon as you can, so you can stop the order before it ships if it turns out they're hacked.
