This is better stated... the compound H2O found here was formed a long time ago from elements that are all the same age...

Not accurate. Atoms heavier than helium are created in the later stages of a star's life-cycle with those heavier than iron formed during stellar collapse. So technically the H in H₂O is older than the O.
