He should know the difference between the 2. How did he know your taking oxycodone? There is no way of telling the difference (oxycodone/OxyContin) by a drug test. Your chart would clearly say what specific medication.
It doesn't seem like something to get worked up about, you didn't share in your post that he made you feel uncomfortable or anything. It could have just been a misunderstanding.

Yes, he did make me feel uncomfortable. Like I was a bad person for taking them, when they were prescribed by my doctor. Since this is a fairly new diagnosis, my medications were far from ideal. Having massive flare-ups that the 5mg oxy's and 50mgs of tramadol, and lidocaine patches weren't covering. I can usually control it with that but sometimes it still goes out of control. That Dr. in the ER told me I need to "quit coming to the ER" for pain. I only went under the advisement of BOTH my DR's offices. And yes my meds were in my chart I also told him what I was on and what I had done to try to stop the flare up, but that neither of my DR's could get me in and both of them had said for the ER doctor to call and confirm they advised me to come in. The ER doc basically treated me like a "drug seeker" saying my chart would be red flagged if I "kept it up".
