No it does not mean original born with components. While it could or may be original, the language in the auction contract does not dictate that it is necesarily original to the car.
Most auctions also do not guarantee the sellers claims of originality and or authenticity. Many provide for a period of time, for example, 24 hours for you to inspect the numbers and paperwork. This is why all of this/inspection/research needs done prior to bidding, that is if you care about authenticity.
