is it a scam message because my phone was actually stolen
It is a common scam.
This scam message is seeking to get your Apple ID credentials to unlock the device.
And to pillage your Apple ID, if the thieves are inclined.
If you do want to provide a message to or provide contact info to the thieves (such as “stolen, serial number reported, leave at a police station”), you can set that in Lost Mode.
I would not provide any info that gives away your location or a direct contact path.
