Is true that Poljot movement is the same as the movement used in Breitling watches?
You almost got it right. There are different stories on how Poljot started the production of a chronograph movement back in 1975 as to who it obtained the equipment from and where it was imported from (read Poljot history). Some said it was imported from Glashuette in the then East Germany; some said it was direct from a factory in Swiss; and some others even said it was from the United States.
