That’s a really convoluted way to say they rinse them off in clean water.

Anyway, seafood comes from the ocean. I don’t see why they would be worse than other oysters.

It's more than rinsing them off. Oysters are filter feeders. They need to spend enough time in clean water to pump out any contaminants. It's an FDA regulated process:

It depends on the cleanliness of the water. These oysters are raised in a lagoon surrounded by the city of Carlsbad:

I imagine that lagoon is subject to runoff and not nearly as clean as oysters harvested in open waters.
