Were the THX versions really the first time they had been mastered digitally? Because it says on the bottom of the old vhs tapes on the back even from the 80's "Digitally Mastered."

Someone here mentioned Digitally Mastered doesn't mean anything these days. I used to think it was special, then I noticed how it was on a lot of old vhs tapes so it's like having a movie with color and sound these days.

What I still don't get is for the One Last Time release, why use the same transfer made 2 years ago? Before any alterations could be made, they had to completely restore the original films. Why wasn't  a new THX master struck from those versions without any changes and used for a new restored transfer?
