When using Gmail and other oauth based services they don’t get the password just a token for that specific account thus I find this very hard to believe.

When I reported the "breach" to them at the time; they clearly stated the passwords were kept on their servers, and the account they were accessing (on my behalf) was a bug and that shouldn't have happened. It would have been impossible to happen had they not "stolen" email creds.
