In my experience it's not uncommon to see a reference to "x86" where it's not clear whether it applies to both 32-bit and 64-bit x86, or really just 32-bit x86. Also, I think many of the old architectures have names that predate the existence of their 64-bit variants. For example MIPS was originally 32-bit only. In contrast, RISC-V is an example of a new architecture with a 64-bit variant present from the start, and they call their 32-bit variant riscv32. Consequently, I've been trying to only say "wasm" for things that apply to both wasm32 and wasm64.
