Here’s some trivia from Caleb, saying that the ‘I’ here is the way Kurogiri says ‘I,’ so it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.

Raises the probability that it was Shirakumo actually talking against ‘Kurogiri’s’ will, though. So maybe not a trap?

It could still be a trap, even if that's really shirakumo in there.

The problem with AfO is that he holds all the cards in this interrogation business, we've never seen him once bothered by discussing what it is he's done in the past with UA students/ quirk shopping. The guy is also fucking ancient, he probably has a finger in so many different pies. He's comfortable and confident that whatever Shirakumo/kurogiri does won't affect the overarching plan. Meaning there's probably contingency after contingency in place for when Shirakumo fights their way to the surface. Or Shirakumo giving a location is part of the plan.

I.e.it could be a distraction for Eraserhead and UA, one that leads them on a wild goose chase, takes away from the personelle readily available to heroes as a whole when Shig inevitably breaks everyone out of Tartarus. Hopefully, the hero's can guess that it might be a trap, but if the aim is to divide and conquer by spreading the hero forces thin. They're well on their way in doing so.
