Correct!

After Starfire (who was a baby then) first landed on Earth approximately 16 years ago, Niles Caulder (who's even more loony on this Earth) found her, and did experiments on her. After seeing how powerful she was, he tried to create a clone of her. Unfortunately, it went wrong, and the product was a malformed, less intelligent version of her.

After realizing his mistake was trying to completely recreate Starfire, he decided to graft a small amount of her DNA on eight babies (that his company may or may not have kidnapped).The result was the other eight.
