Are "Cantonese people" from Guangzhou?

Not quite. It means that they are from the Guangdong (from which the word Canton is derived) province. Cantonese food, language, people: the word Cantonese has many uses, and is not limited to the language.

Also, note that the Cantonese language is not even a decimal point in the language stats in Taiwan. The three Chinese languages spoken there are Mandarin, Minnan (Hokkien) and Hakka.
