I believe Parmesan is actually a protected description for cheese that originates from Parma / Reggio Emilia.

Technically these "not Parmesan" cheeses can be just as good as Parmesan if produced using the exact same method. Which is not impossible for a modern dairy producer. However (and that's a big one) it will cost just as much. Most of these are meant to be cheap, not good.

The worst fake parmesan I've seen was Rapesan in Austria.

Yeah, that is probably something that can't legally be called "Parmesan". Like it could be basically anything. The only thing we know for sure is that it is NOT Parmesan, because if it was it would say so.

We might get an off brand pretending to be a review show ''Parmas, on cheese ...'

You can only call it Parmesan if it comes from the Parmesan region of Italy actually so

I mean, if it's pre-grated it's also partly sawdust, and sawdust is not parm
