So, it is not clear to me that BTC could be counterfeited successfully at all. Yet, I DID read something about "counterfeit Bitcoin" somewhere and am curious.

As it stands the protocol will not allow it and the multi-petahash mining network enforces it.

More likely they were referring to fake Casascius Coins which are physical coins with a public key on one side, and a "tamper-proof" holographic label on the other that can be removed to reveal a private key.

Yes, Likely it was fake Casascius Coins. Mike discusses it here:
