STARKs are proofs of knowledge (it's in the name: Succinct Transparent ARguments of Knowledge). Sure, the fibonacci example is a bit useless, because anyone can compute that easily. But the proof process holds for proving knowledge of a preimage of a hash, or the opening to a commitment, or any NP statement in general.
