So, Adam was 130 years old before he begat a son in his own likeness, after his image?

I don't understand the question. Maybe the translation you're reading is confusing you. Try The Message version, which says,
"When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son who was just like him, his very spirit and image, and named him Seth. "

No, he was formed out of the dust and God breathed life into him. That is why we say ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
Genesis 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the Ground.
Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, had appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Genesis 5 is just saying Adam was 130 when Seth was born and he was like him. Adam started his lineage from Seth because Cain had killed Abel and was not recognized by Adam any longer. He was cast out and disowned for the murder of his brother. Seth was seen as a replacement from God and therefor in the image of Adam.

NIV doesnt say that:
"When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died."

Adam was an alien only if god who made him was an alien. Since alien means something or someone who does not belong in a particular place it would make sense that even if god was an alien, adam was a legal resident until kicked out of the garden of eden.

Two Adams: first & last; but "as in Adam all die".
POINT: His Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
Grace --> Mercy ---> Peace with you all. Amen.
