Motor ratings are done as power output, not power consumed. So you don't need the efficiency. Had they cared about the power input they should have said "draws max of 0.33 amps at 12 volts".

But since you brought it up, drag the question over to the Q&A site and ask, power in or power out and see what watt they want.
