"Another attendee asked if Peter Petrelli could absorb all of the powers that Sylar currently possesses, and Pokaski responded with a resounding yes."
The operative word there is 'could'. It doesn't say anything one way or another about whether or not Sylar has to be using them. It doesn't say that Peter has absorbed all of Sylar's abilites either.
Is what you said.
Bold mine:

Joe Pokaski: Yeah, Peter, when he's close to Sylar, and now he found out that when he's far away from Sylar, he does get all the powers that Sylar has gotten so far.
Is what Joe Pokaski said.

The quote I posted was a summarized version of what was asked and what was answered so it's not like it wasn't accurate.
Joe Pokaski says that Peter
has gotten all of Sylar's powers. Your summary says that "It doesn't say that Peter
has absorbed all of Sylar's abilites [sic]."
Ergo, your summary was (slightly) inaccurate. Doesn't matter if Sylar's used the powers in front of Peter or not, according to Mr. Pokaski; Peter has all of Sylar's abilities.
