It sounds to me like they resealed the motor (front/rear crank seals, oil pump seal) and installed some tune-up parts (everything else in your list).
The motor rebuild would include, at a MINIMUM, new timing chain and guides, new piston rings, new main bearings and new rod bearings. Usually this is complemented by some machine shop work such as resurfacing the block and/or honing the cylinders.
Also with a rebuild, by default you "reseal" the motor upon reassembly -- new front and rear crankshaft seals, oil pump o-ring (seal), head gasket, etc.
Mj - let us know how this turns out...Damien
