That has just always been the case as long as the app in both stores uses the same package string. (Like org.blitzortung.android.app or org.videolan.vlc)

The word that's throwing you off is probably wont
wont
(archaic or humorous) One's habitual way of doing things; custom, habit, practice. Generally a nice thing to have, but why specifically?
(I'm going to guess it's a reference to something, but I've had no luck searching)
It's been the case ever since I started using Android (and modded APKs such as old versions of apps re-signed to not update) in about 2011.
Some of the root apps back then such as Titanium Backup had features to "unhook" an app so it wouldn't appear as installed in the store, but my experience was that it never lasted long enough to be worth doing.
