No, a femboy is a feminine boy. They usually crossdress or at least dress androginously. They don't necessarily want to transition or take HRT (although this one does).

    Given that this one does, and that a trans person that wants to transition would refer to themselves as the gender they want to transition, they would be a trans male. However it's 4chan and fake so I bet they meant a trans female, where being into dudes would be being straight.

    He can still be an amab femboy and take hrt to become more feminine without transitioning to become a woman. He does not claim to be trans, just a femboy.

    Well sure but... Why? That's a great way to give a huge blow to your body for fun. Anyway, it's 4chan so whatever. In any case you are right, I assumed more than was stated.

    People modify ("deal a huge blow to" in your words) their bodies all the time to fit certain preferences. Be it tattoos, piercings (including earrings), cosmetic surgery or even stuff like body building.

    It is not that strange that people want to express themselves with their body.

    Can't give a general answer, but we can look to history. Consider the Castrati: removing the testicles before puberty prevented a boy's voice from changing, giving them a high singing voice in adulthood.

    You misunderstand. Femboys are people who were born with penises.

    It might be in this case, but I would not object for a trans man to call themselves femboy if they look like a feminine boy, since for all that matters to me a trans man is a man.

    You may not object but that's not how the word is commonly used. Anyone can call themselves anything, but for words to have any meaning we need to have a gentleman's agreement about when and how to use them, which is basically what a language is.

    Anyway, I'm just explaining the word's conventional meaning. I have no interest in arguing with you as if I were some kind of linguistic prescriptivist.
