As with most of the "canon" on the show, Jeff just pulls it out of his ***. There have been conflicting definitions of what constitutes an Omega. According to Gerard it is a "lone wolf", without a pack. Which of course would have made Derek one in the beginning, Scott pretty much from 101 until 312 and Peter ever since his resurrection. According to Ethan, Omegas are the lowest ranking wolves in a pack, which conflicts with the prior definition.

In short, the term is meaningless. Alphas are the only "level" with concrete distinguishing traits (i.e. extra power) and even then they can still basically occupy the roles of Betas and Omegas (as the members of the Alpha Pack did under Deucalion).
