Huh? That's not true at all. 11n can run on 2.4ghz or 5ghz. Technically it could run on any frequency, but those are the government approved WiFi frequencies.

And you would know if your devices were going to use it in two ways, 1) The router has an SSID for G and another one for N. Any device that supports N is going to show both wireless network SSIDs.
Also not true. There is only a single SSID. An AP can step back to 11G, but it doesn't need to have two SSID's for that.

I can tell you for sure that any iPhone IOS type device is not going to show, or connect to an 'N' connection that is 2.4Ghz as N.
Also not true. Newer IPhones can connect just fine to a 2.4Ghz 11n AP. I have an iPhone 5s that does this every day.
