Paul must of been speaking to people who didn't know.
Because clearly other people in acts 10 knew
This was the same baptism Paul was speaking about
Acts 10:47-48
47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water. They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48
Acts 10:47-48
47 “Surely no one can stand in the way of their being baptized with water.
They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” 48
So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.

For Peter's situation.
When Peter says "who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” He's talking about when they received the HS on the day of Pentecost. Please consider.
How did Cornelius receive the HS:
Directly from God 44 While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.
And it was evident by the speaking in tongues. 46 For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God.
If we look at the day of Pentecost, we see the same thing.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Directly from God and evident by the speaking in tongues.
The Gentiles were a special conversion and God did it this way for a purpose. Later Peter retells this conversion, twice, notice he says the HS fell on them just as us at the beginning.
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning.
For Paul's situation, I recommend reading the end of Acts 18 then into 19. Notice when Paul finds out they didn't even know of the HS, what does he question.
