Yes indeed, you are right and it is significant and worth remebering that there are no claims this meteor actually contained extraterrestrial life - apparently it did not.

What is also significant about what it DOES contain is that it contains structures that COULD have contained ET life. This presents an actually existant MECHANISM for Panspermia it is by no means evidence that Panspermia DID occur - an important distinction. But by presenting an existing mechanism allowing it to occur, Panspermia becomes more likely than when there was no such extant mechanism known.
