I think in this case, “transit” means “passes in front of from our perspective” rather than “travels to” :)
I don’t recall ever hearing proposals to boost the ISS all the way to lunar orbit. Lunar gateway was to be a separate space station in lunar orbit, but those plans were recently abandoned in an effort to focus on (more useful) surface habitats.
