I'm guessing when an optic says fog proof that only means in the glass, not on the glass correct?

Yes, only anti fog on the inside. The optic is sealed with gas(es)  to prevent fogging on the inside. Some Companies put a coating on the outside which will eventually wear off. The glass should always be cleaned with water and the fancy rag that ships with it.

I received a used m21 today. It is in the 20s outside and near 70 inside. The glass fogged some but only on the glass and dispersed relatively quickly

I figured that was the case, just curious

yeah, everything is ok. Once you start seeing the condensation on the inside, then you have a compromised optic.

Can't stop external condensation.  Physics.
