Is that your offer (with 2 YoE) or someone else? Is that usual do you think, or do you have some golden stuff on the cv?

This is my offer.

I suspect golden stuff on CV / strong interview round. (I'm now a Staff Engineer on 2.5 YoE)

More power to you, but that sounds like a pretty inflated title to (not staff) me.

Probably is honestly.

I imagine it was HR BS. They had to call you that to pay you X. You are worth X. But they needed to match the title to it.

From what I have read Staff Engineer is mostly architecture/meetings/people management, and being across a very large team. If you are doing that it might be Staff Engineer, but if you are mostly coding it probably isn't.

Either way it doesn't matter. It is just another title.
