I'm not understanding how Google and employees is claiming to be the original inventor here.

Each inventor must sign an oath or declaration that includes certain statements required by law and the USPTO rules, including the statement that he or she believes himself or herself to be the original inventor or an original joint inventor of a claimed invention in the application and the statement that the application was made or authorized to be made by him or her.

How is Google+Co the original inventor?

Does the article mean ENcoding and not just coding?

They mean "coding" in the information theory meaning of the word:
