Auto draw with no 3 repeating moves?

After the last two moves the game end up with auto draw. (I wasn't neither accepting a draw nor proposing a draw)
The moves don’t count. It‘s three time repeated position.

By the way, where does this rumor come from? USCF? chess.com/? Do they play with „move repetition“?
From people who learned chess in the 19th century.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threefold_repetition#Pillsbury_versus_Burn

In this 1898 Vienna tournament game between Harry Pillsbury and Amos Burn,[13] the same position occurred three times, but no draw was claimed. The tournament was played under the rules of Bilguer's Handbuch des Schachspiels (1843, with later editions), in which the three-fold rule was stated as the repetition of moves or a sequence of moves, not positions, so a claim could not be made. Burn went on to win the game (Giddins 2012:166–67).
