There is no such thing as a screensaver in modern DEs (at least Plasma, GNOME Shell and Unity). For historic reasons the interface is called screensaver, so screensaver is the one for lock screen.

As far as my quick internet research showed: xscreensaver does not support dbus interface (it would have surprised me). Given that: see what I wrote above: there is no such thing as a screensaver in a modern DE. Let's use lock screen and leave the legacy behind :-)
