In the same way that "/" is a different partition or logical volume for Ubuntu and Fedora, so is /boot/efi. Both sda1 and sda8 are partitions with a FAT32 filesystem, and the UEFI firmware can read files and run bootloaders from either of those partitions. Fedora mounts sda8 on /boot/efi, and Ubuntu mounts /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi. The partition or filesystem itself doesn't tell the OS where it belongs, /etc/fstab does.
