It's because the use of the name parmigiano reggiano requires that the cheese come from a certain region of Italy (or somewhere in Europe). There's nothing else special about it. Counterfeit cheese in this case is just the same exact cheese but made elsewhere and likely sold for cheaper.

Oh they work 'in' cheese, people always misunderstand and think they work in the cheese industry but their office is just often coated in cheese
