Chess Pwn is mistaken. That FAQ does not apply to the lance. Here's why.
The rules for the lance state "While mounted, you can wield a lance with one hand." This is quite different from "When a feat or other special ability says to treat a weapon that is normally wielded in two hands as a one handed weapon ..." from the FAQ.
While mounted you CAN wield a lance in one hand, but it is NOT otherwise treated as a one-handed weapon. It remains a two-handed weapon in all other respects (especially Power Attack). See this part of that same FAQ

I dont know. The Bastard Sword is listed in one handed exotic weapons but the FAQ says it is a two handed martial wich can be used in one hand with the proper training, namely EWP. As far as I know, Bastard Sword is a finessable weapon for swashbucklers, isnt it? Would'nt be the same here for the lance?

A bastard sword is an exotic one-handed slashing weapon that can also be wielded as a two-handed martial weapon. The FAQ is telling us that without the EWP feat, the wielder MUST use the option to treat it as a two-handed martial weapon.
In either case, the bastard sword is not a piercing weapon, so Swashbuckler Finesse (Ex) does not function with it.
The lance is a two-handed weapon, even when you wield it in one hand while mounted.
