Match an overall EQ pf one track to another track, or simply copy the

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the former.
That's really kind of a misguided idea.
What can be done, is to match the frequency spectra of two recordings in
a attempt to make them sound similar.

Yes, but it doesn't necessarily make them sound similar. It's apt to
do more damage than good. The spectral envelope comes out of the
arrangement and instruments as much as the recording.
Yes, I know people sell gadgets to do this, but people also sell lots
of similarly misguided things. Brown dye to put on your scalp to hide
your bald spot? You can buy it, and it does what the label claims, but
it's as bad an idea as these plugins.
For an entire mix, sure. For individual instruments, such as guitar,
it can be useful for maintaining continuity between sessions, in
my opinion.
