That's correct. The FILE: prefix is only used in a few places and 
handled there in the code instead of a central function. 
GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName() does the handling of EXT: for you.

 From your original post it seems that you somehow want to look into a 
flexform datastructure. Xavier already pointed to the place in the core 
that does exactly that.

Besides, no matter how frustrated you are at the moment you write a 
post, a remark such as you included at the end of your post will only 
reduce the number of replies.
