each blossom has a male and female part that required nothing more than a wind, shake, electric toothbrush, or a bee to pollinate

The tomato flower is indeed "perfect," as you described, whether it is a hybrid or open-pollinated variety. OP is generally used to mean non-hybrid variety. It is a larger, more inclusive term than 'heirloom.'
