No, it wasn't a fluke. You do get UEFI Firmware updates through Windows Update. I've received a couple myself on my Acer laptop.
When Windows updates your system's firmware, you'll find the Firmware device in Device Manager
Also, you'll find a Firmware folder under Windows containing .FD (firmware driver?) files corresponding to the versions of the firmware that Windows Update installed over time on the system.
The below links shed some light on the Windows UEFI Firmware Update Platform and an overview of the process how firmware updates are submitted to Microsoft by the firmware manufacturer.
