Well, they are saying that MCU characters appearing in Sony films make it the same universe.

Collider: "Can Spider-Man be in an establishing shot swinging by in the Venom movie or does that immediately make him a part of the MCU, if you put that in there?" Feige: "I think, if it looks like the MCU Spider-Man, that would probably be the case, since that probably is smart.

Collider: "Exactly, so my thing is that, I'm wondering, can you like swing by in like an establishing shot in the Venom movie, or is that like, does that establishing shot alone make Venom immediately in the MCU?" Holland: "It would, it definitely would, and I mean we'll have to wait and see what happens but as of now I know nothing about it."

Theres also this, and the brackets are unspoken, I assume.

Pascal: "First, there is Spider-Man happily in the place where he's supposed to be which is in the Marvel universe. I think everything comes from that. This is the signpost, the tentpole, the signature and [...] the other movies that Sony's going to make, in their relationship to this [MCU] Spider-Man, take place in this [separate Sony] world. Although you're not going to see them in the Marvel universe, it's in the same reality." Feige: "The perfect answer."
