A spellcasting focus is an object created to be a spellcasting focus. A magic staff or wand isn’t one unless it says it is just as a mundane quarter staff or wand shaped stick isn’t one.

1@L0neGamer worth noting that "official" in this case doesn't really mean anything much to us. See this answer for more. Crawford writes rulings not rules and his rulings are completely optional. – Rubiksmoose Jan 05 '19 at 04:26

1@foffos basically it's a "your DM has to decide". J.C. says yes, but your DM can rule differently and it's not "wrong". – Darth Pseudonym Jan 05 '19 at 05:46
