Tails supports UEFI boot *only* when installed to USB "properly"
(either with Tails Installer or Universal USB Installer), i.e.
the content of the ISO is extracted to a FAT filesystem.

OTOH the isohybrid "dd" installation method, and DVD boot, don't
support UEFI so far: in the context of the Tails installation user
story, these installation/boot methods are only meant to be used as an
intermediary step, and only recommended when installing from OSX (for
which we could not find any graphical USB installer that satisfied our
needs back when we looked, but perhaps we missed something).

Correct.
