Completion is user defined.
If you define it as Esc, then it is escape.
If you define it as TabTab then that's what it is.
Be careful is your shell also uses vi mode for command line editing.

For example:
I use ksh.
in my .profile,

set -o vi

allows me to bring up command history with
Esc\pattern
which lists the neares command in the history.
Now if I press Esc then v
i will enter vi edit screen to do extensive changes to the command,

In such a case, you do not want Esc to be your filename completion 
character.

Otherwise, Esc is a valid choice for filename completion.
