Yeah, that's his point. I think he's saying that as long as your component/kit car has a 17 digit VIN (which means it was state issued), they will insure it as a production car, and not a specialty built vehicle.

In other words, if you come to him with your VIN being ERA999, it's getting insured as a home built car. If the DMV issued that same car a 17 digit VIN, he'll insure it as a production vehicle.
