Admittedly, it might have been better-phrased. Whether it's a "slippery sales tactic" or an industry usage with which many buyers aren't familiar is debatable.
I'm amazed too. I thought OEM was a part approved or licensed by Porsche.

Also dont think its slippery. I think its just a term used in industry that a lot of people, obviously me included dont understand.
