Clearly, a PRNG is a subtle concept and it's common for abstracts to not be completely precise. In context, it's clear to me that by "uniform" they mean "a random process which generates numbers independently from a uniform distribution." Your process is generating numbers uniformly, but successive outputs are definitely not independent. One reason why I feel your interpretation is strained is that the phrasing makes "uniform" sound like a single process. You seem to be reading it as "numbers which are distributed uniformly," but the word indistinguishable really suggests that it's more than just the distribution that matters.
