No, seemingly its something named
   
   xfrun4

this is at least what the shortcut seems to use, regarding
http://xahlee.info/linux/linux_xfce_keyboard_shortcuts.html.

$ ls -hog /usr/bin/xfrun4 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 15 May  7 07:55 /usr/bin/xfrun4 -> xfce4-appfinder

:D

So you could use
  xfce4-appfinder
or
  xfce4-appfinder -c
resp.
  xfrun4
or
  xfrun -c
since it's just a link.
