Yeah, that's the only definition I ever knew.

Weirdly there are two. Both are correct. Regional difference.

For the non-US context, one might as well add "born in the country" after the "first generation".

I am from a non-US context, the first generation is the first that came to the country here.

Well yeah, I didn't mean "all non-US context of immigrants", but the article especially mentions the US definition being so.

But that doesn't mean others can't also utilise that definition.

Honestly, I'm not sure who exactly does use the other one, but I know it's used enough to be acceptable in certain contexts somewhere
