They were replicating the sounds of those Seattle bands, they didn't create the sound themselves.

That is the difference.

I think what he meant to say was that STP was considered as a grunge band as well also along with the other bands from the same era, their debut album Core was released in '92 so...
STPs style was a little different than the other grunge bands from the same era, as I stated before, STP dabbled more into psychedelic and funk rock, etc. more so than most of the original grunge bands did, especially from the mid 90s and so on into the next decade.

Yet their first album sounds incredibly similar to those bands?

I would absolutely love some examples of the music they made pre 1992.

What's your point? That's why they were considered the same style of music. There were a bunch of bands with similar sounds at the time because they shared similar influences, it's just a case of being a product of their time. It's not like any particular band invented grunge out of thin air.
