I thought they were the opposite, since I always hear sisters calling each other "oneesan/oniiisan"?

The way we learned it was like this:
Words like Ane automatically imply it is "your" sister. So you can say Oneesan, but it just means "sister" not (my) sister. Both are fine, but if you want to be more specific say "ane" or at least "watashi no oneesan." (My sister literally.)
Hope that helps?
