Open Lazarus, write some code which uses an api call, use ctrl+click on
the name of the api call, and look for yourself how the call is
defined. 

Probably stdcall, yes. And please note that this has nothing to do with
fpc. It's Microsoft that decided what calling convention to use, and
no-one can differ from that.
