So if Venus Flytrap Seeds are only known as typicals, what is the difference, if any with the ones in the seedbank? Or am I missing a valuable point?

Any flytrap from seeds will be typical but by knowing the cultivar of the parents you have a better chance of getting plants that have traits similar to the parent. A red flytrap is more likely to produce red offspring. A giant trap will likely produce larger traps. Also, knowing the parentage makes it easier to register a cultivar.

Flytraps grown from seed are officially typicals because cultivars have very specific genetics and gene expression. The only way to get another cultivar is through vegetative propagation whether it be pullings or cuttings, then getting strikes from them. You're making copies of that plant.
When a plant produces seed, it comes from a pollen grain that joined with an ovule. Each has half of the necessary genetic material needed to make a seed, and, eventually, a plant. However, it is virtually impossible (1 in over 7 trillion chance) that the genes that come together do so in a way that are identical to the genotype of the cultivar. It's more likely that there will be some characteristics of the cultivar, but it will still be genetically different.
The same as if a man and a woman were to produce six male and six female children, all single births, no twins, triplets, etc. Each child will likely look similar to their siblings, share characteristics with each parent, and one or two will probably look much different than the others. Ruling out environmental influences, you could have any combination of short, tall, red hair, blonde, brunette, blue eyes, green, freckles, acne, flawless skin, needing braces, perfect teeth, big ears, missing appendages, extra appendages, or just about anything else you could think of. But none of them will share the exact genetics of either parent. But, if both parents have red hair, fair skin, and freckles it's a higher likelihood that most of the children will share some or all of those traits. If one has black hair and easily bronzes in the sun, check out what the wife's tennis coach looks like.
Listing the parent of the plant that produced the seed, FTS "Towering Giant" for example, tells us that there is a higher chance that you could see similarities of that cultivar, but no guarantee of anything because it is genetic soup in seed form.
