I don't think he literally meant that they were Orokin, he meant a time when Orokin, as a faction, existed. As you remember - Tenno destroyed the Orokin Empire, destroyed their culture. They haven't killed every single one of them though, that would be impossible, but they simply ruined their whole system, and lesser factions - Grineer and Corpus - took their place of food chain instead. They were separate factions even back then, it's just that they share a lot of similarities: being the closest we know to humans, having advanced tech (Orokin still were more advanced than Corpus), being extremely selfish and ready to do anything to achieve their goals.

Similiar? Yes.

Same thing? Doubt it.

Though Corpus most likely were close friends with Orokin, due to Corpus often reffering to Tenno as "Betrayers".

Guess they still can't forgive us for destroying the richest and most powerful faction in the system...
