You are absolutely right. When people talk about "IP spoofing", I often think they mean something entirely different. In this case, I think that the intent was to send an HTTP request from an unknown or non-banned IP address. You could do this by (a) connecting from home instead of work, if your office's network were banned, or (b) using an anonymizer or other sort of proxy, which would present the IP address of the proxy to the remote server instead of your own IP address.
