Официозный comes from French: "officieux", and the strict meaning is "not
official". 
Официальный, from French "officiel", = official
Официозный, from French "officieux" = unofficial

The definition you are giving looks like that of Ожегов, 1952:
Официозный= "в буржуазных странах: полуофициальный, открыто не связанный с
правительством, но на деле проводящий его точку зрения"
Официоз= "в буржуазных странах:официозный печатный орган"

Of course, at the time it was written, he had to explain what could be some
"unofficial" piece of information!
