additionally since no such distribution deal between Paramount and Netflix exists, since Star Trek in its TV form is a CBS property.

They seem to be confusing Paramount Pictures (the studio in question) with Paramount Television (which was absorbed by CBS).

They are probably actually confusing Paramount Television (which was a name retained by CBS after the CBS/Viacom split through 2009, when the unit was renamed CBS Television Studios) with Paramount Television (the unit of Paramount Pictures, which resurrected the unit name in 2014 or so.)
