I think that may just be a difference in how the phrase "state residency" is being interpreted in filling out the form. On the one hand, "state residency" is the same as geographic diversity. However, it also has a much more specific meaning in admissions, namely that in-state and out-of-state admissions standards are often completely different (see Cal, UNC-CH, UVa, UMich, etc). The schools listing "not considered" may be trying to emphasis that there are no specific state hurdles or benefits in the application process.
I don't believe there is any actual distinction in the way Amherst and Swarthmore view state residency.
