Ok, I was fixing my car today and noticed it said ST204 on the firewall. I always thought our cars were ST202. SO where the heck did ST204 and ST202 come from? Did I just make up ST202? I could have sworn I seen that in regards to our car parts. What is the difference? Is there even one? Does it mean anything if there are both?

Yeah, i think cars with the 5S-FE are ST-204. US and some Aus GT's have them. 3S-GE cars are ST-202, so UK EU and JDM.

As i said above, ST202 has 3S-GE. Not necessarily SuperStrut or anything else.

Yup, the st204 was just a minor change to the chassis to allow for the US engines (specifically the mount point locations).

Chassis codes don't record such trim details. They only tell you what engine series (S-block or A-block for Celicas), base design (T for FWD Celica), generation (18 = fifth, 20 = sixth), and engine model (0 = 4AFE or 7AFE, 2 = 3SGE, 3 = 3SGE w/ four-wheel steering, 4 = 5SFE, 5 = 3SGTE).
