Taking into account the peculiarities of the languages concerned, it would probably be incorrect to use just one term for the winged horse in all contexts.

I guess what i am trying to figure out here is if Si Mega and Kuda Sembrani refer to the SAME mythological flying horse or if the idea of a flying horse appears in more than one legend. My understanding at this point is the Kuda Sembrani is a Javanese legend and that Si Mega is a Madurese one. So are we taking about the same specific creature? If flying horses exist in the mythology it would not be out of the question that there be more than just one.
