If everything we know is but a simulation being run in a much larger world, then “everything we know” isn’t a universe.
The question wasn’t “what’s outside the universe?”, it was “where did the configuration that we are a part of come from?”
I don’t think you can necessarily equate “configuration” (the mathematical entity that we are implicitly represented within), with “universe” (everything that exists).
