I'm probably going to regret saying this, but the origin story we have for werewolves as a race involves the god Zeus. The reasons for the eye color of a werewolf directly tie into their soul (which is a metaphysical concept at best). And on top that, we have the whole "mutation effect" where the form you take reflects your personality? Personality is not an intrinsically biological thing either. So, no, they've implied it's more than biology going on.

Furthermore, saying they've been "careful to show that it is a biological process" tells me you've got a lot of head canon going on because they haven't really carefully explained much about werewolves at all. We don't know why only Alphas can give the bite (which, if it truly were biological would make no sense because it would be an illness spread via germs in saliva entering the bloodstream). We don't know why sometimes a scratch can also turn someone. We don't know how the Omega/Beta/Alpha ranks work. I could go on, but I feel the point's been made. :P
