To be fair, Stephenson had them add an entirely new module with a rotating ring that attached to a reconfigured ISS. He didn’t add artificial gravity to the existing ISS.

With the bolos they tethered modules together and made them do somersaults to create gravity. I don’t remember if they used existing modules or not. But you are correct. There were two tori connected to the ISS that had gravity. The ISS as a whole didn’t have artificial gravity.
