Exactly — it's basically the same as writing your own separate authentication service, or using Auth0/Cognito/Firebase.

The reason why it is stateless is because there's no state associated with a token that I have to maintain.
I certainly wouldn't call that "stateless", but it does fulfill the main reason why you might want to be stateless, that you don't have to maintain any state yourself.
