Geico loves to use only “fake,bootleg,cheap,etc parts” on your vehicle...even if it’s the other party’s fault.
Just be sure & tell the claims guy “New OEM Parts Only” & you’re covered,,,he/she will squirm over that comment & try to say some things are unavailable....and then you say

So much speculation and conjecture here to assume it was fake. Like it was suggested, can OP cut open the filter in question for us to see. Would be good to do the same with the dealer product. It'll benefit the community.

Thank you! Why throw it away when there presents a perfect opportunity for us to find out more detail for real?
