No, this is not Spätzle (Spaezle). Spätzle are made with eggs and the meal is more "wet" (and only made in salted water, not broth). Sterz is drier (not cooked, more roasted) and a little bit crispy.
It is hard to describe. These are two total other meals although they look similar, if you would make a photo of them.
Oh, by the way, Schmarrn looks like these both, too. Schmarrn is like pancake, but a little bit less fluid in the raw condition and cut up in small pieces with raisins before serving.
Sterz you eat with sour cream soup, Spätzle a little bit scalloped with cheese you take with salad and Schmarrn you eat with plum- or apple compote.
I hope you are now not confused ;-)
