The concept of an original packet that is then tracked in table would be a
tcp syn flag. syn bit is set to instruct that this is the 1st packet and
its intention is to creat a connection/open socket.

reply traffic relys on the 3way handshake for TCP (other methods used for
UDP) which includes seq/ack values to track the progress as well as other
attributes

These are transport protocol-specific details. Netfilter connection tracking is more generic than this. TCP connection tracking does not even require by default that the first packet has the SYN flag.
