I think what Cellwood is saying that Shepard should have assumed it was, given that everything about their behaviour seems to point to a false lead. You're absolutely right, though. It does differ in some ways to indoctrination, and in retrospect, its actually very subtle foreshadowing. All in all, the mystery and plot driving Leviathan was top-notch.
