I don't know if you're wrong or right, but the latest news from the PA completely contradicts what you are writing. Obviously a South Ward station has nothing to do with a Newark Airport station. The current NJ Transit station does have South Ward access, and there's no indication that the PA is confused about its own station.

Unless the PA had previously planned an extension with 0 stations (which would be kind of ridiculous, no?) then the addition of a South Ward station is obviously in addition to a Newark Airport station.

And it doesn't even make sense to have a single station at the current NJ Transit stop, because the Airtrain is being rebuilt. It won't have the same alignment/configuration. There's no confirmed alignment/configuration for the new Airtrain route, so how can the PATH station be sited yet? If you go to the PA docs for the terminal rebuilds, they're clear that the Airtrain will be removed and relocated to an undetermined location.
