Conrods and pistons don't 'wear' as such, presume that 'hone block' meant the cylinder bores prior to fitting new rings so no issues there.
I guess that the heads were skimmed as a precaution to get a good mating surface for the head gaskets.
As for the heads, they were probably checked over prior to being skimmed.
If the valves and seats seemed okay, the garage could have fitted new valve stem oil seals as a precaution but if the car isn't using or burning oil it's probably fine.

As per TheVoices. The obvious thing to do, btw, seeing as you have the receipt, would be to contact the place that did it and ask them if they remember the job, and, if so, whether they remember why they did what they did.
Incidentally, your car isn't a WRX. The WRX name was only used on imports in the classic era. UK cars are called Impreza Turbo 2000 AWDs. This isn't as pedantic a point as you might first think. Describing your car that way is an easy way to make folk who don't stop to ask assume you have a JDM car. On technical threads that can often cause confusion and inadvertent bad advice, so accuracy is always good.

Officially the badging is "Impreza Turbo 2000 4WD".
At a glance it looks like "A" for All (Wheel Drive), but if you look closely at the badging, I'm sure it's actually a "4" (despite Subaru markting their 4WD system as "AWD")

(..+ hairy palms. 
TMI 
)
I disagree.
The diagonal leg comes right down; then the horizontal leg comes across; and then there's a small gap between the horizontal and vertical legs. Look 'more' like a 4 to me....
Thing is it's so stylised, it could be read as either, anyway!
But if it was a 4, then it would go against Subaru's marketing - so it would indeed be inconsistent from that POV.
So I'm actually probably wrong lol
