If Bob can decrypt it with Alice’s Public Key, it proves Alice must have had the correlating Private Key.”

This is saying that Alice is making any value known to both her and Bob. But since Alice is the only that that should have her private key then Bob will know that she has the private key if he uses her public key to decrypt the same value that was known?
