Does this sound legit/ like a good start? I am confused right now especially about the "beginning treatment" vs. "talking" thing... This is at a health clinic by the way.

Can you ask him what he means by treatment vs. talking? In my therapy, talking is the main treatment. There are other sorts of treatment in therapy too, like EMDR and exposure therapy. Definitely worth asking him what he meant!
I can understand that a person might be reluctant to begin therapy if they knew they were moving in a few months, because sometimes a person can grow close to their therapist, even in a short time, and then it would be hard to say good-bye. So maybe this is what he meant. But if you really need help now, then it seems like it would be worth it to take advantage of his help and support.
It sounds like you did great your first session! If there are questions he asks that you don't want to answer, you can just say that you would rather not answer that at this time. That gives him valuable information too.
Good luck.
