Metagaming involves taking IC knowledge that you gained either OOC or on another character and applying it to a different character's knowledge despite that character never having been involved.
I suppose in the strictest sense, when you are equating everything your player character does in gameplay as an experience IC, that... might be metagaming. But I've honestly never heard the term applied in such a way. Most roleplayers I've engaged with have a pretty healthy separation of gameplay time and RP time.
I have no trouble believing some OOC level 20 character saying they helped defeat a primal, so long as it isn't done in a way that suggests otherwise poor RP etiquette (which is a really subjective thing).
