Orbit is when you drop an apple off a dining room table - it’s just a very crappy orbit.
“On orbit” typically means in a stable orbit around a body - but in the case of starship, it could have been on orbit, the delta v is more than sufficient, but that’s an unsafe configuration if you don’t know your engines will relight.
