Acquired stuttering is very much a thing and is a widely accepted term used to any stuttering that is not developmental. One type of acquired stuttering is neurogenic stuttering. This is when stuttering is caused by brain damage (i.e.; stroke, traumatic brain injury, adverse reactions to medication, etc) You are 100% correct that you absolutely DO NOT catch stuttering from others or learn stuttering from being around people who stutter.
