How did you gather that Toyota did an STI Brembo swap on these cars? All the article says is, "Also stock are the rear brake rotors and calipers, though Toyota upgraded the brake pads. The front brakes get larger rotors and aftermarket calipers."
Nowhere in there does it mention swapping the OE Bremo calipers from the STI. In fact, it specifically says "
aftermarket calipers." You're telling other people to call Toyota for specifics on which brakes they used in order to prove that it wasn't an STI Brembo swap, and yet you're just automatically assuming that's what it is. I'm not saying that isn't what they did, but there's nothing to support that claim either way. Although the use of the term "aftermarket" would indicate that it wasn't a swap of an OE setup.
Update: The cars for the Celebrity Race used Stop-Tech front calipers.

So whatever point you were trying to make with that article is invalid.
