It's shorter, and it's fine, but personally I prefer to spell things 
out.  In particular, it gets confusing that your expression has two 
clauses that both test type ==/!= FB which causes me to make finger 
pictures in the air to pull it apart.  The cascading tests I wrote are 
more straightforward to follow and you can see right away that BITMASK 
is rejected regardless of type and that only FB and TEXTURE are allowed 
and that FB has one additional test.  But, that's just a question of 
style - at least the new version consolidates the tests into a single 
expression...
