The simple fact that is was called a treethane means that treethane is not a synonym for vassal. How are you getting that out of it? If anything the fact they all are given the same title would imply that each of these places were equal. I guess the only reasonable explanation for that line would be that the Camorans didn't even directly rule Falinesti and left that job to a "Treethane" (probably someone with the a rank equivalent to a Duke); much like how Almalexia left the rule of her city to a Duke.
