No. That's a VA. Volt-Ampere aka 'apparent power'. Watts are quite different, as in *true power*. However..... since transformers are rated by VA and not watts, this is the one to use in this case.

No, asshole! Wrong again. You left out the R. It is Volt-Ampere REACTIVE, and it is quite real.
Also, quite different from the VA rating for a transformer.

Because that IS an "AC watt", which IS the question asked.
