Omniscient and Limited refer to what information is withheld during 3rd person narration:
Omniscient
>He thought that his house was a beautiful, one of a kind engineering marvel. As for his neighbors, opinions ranged from the aesthetically ugly to the structurally unsound. He payed them no matter.
Both the protagonist's and his neighbors thoughts are given to the reader, no information is withheld.

Limited (Subjective)
>He thought that his house was a beautiful, one of a kind engineering marvel. As for his neighbors, most of their gazes avoided the thing, some even cross the street when passing it by. He payed them no matter.
The protagonist's thoughts are given, the neighbors thoughts are withheld and you may only deduce it them by their actions, behaviors or speech.

Objective
>He stood outside his front-lawn with his legs parted, a hand on his hip and coffee on the other; eyes glued to his brand new home. As for his neighbors, most of their gazes avoided the thing, some even cross the street when passing it by. He would wave them a smile but not all of them returned it.
All of the character's thoughts are withheld and you may only deduce them by their actions, behaviors or speech.

Incidentally none of this has to do with whether someone's opinion is objective or subjective. When not narrating the opinion of a character (something subjective), the narration should be objective (as in matter of fact).

The poster you were replying to somewhat led you on with his inaccurate description on points of view. In that instance, the narrator becoming a character has no bearing on the point of view of the narration. The narrator is just relaying the thoughts of yet another character, himself. This is also invariably a form of self-insertion because the narrator's thoughts are most likely the author's and not a distinct character's.

He's right though. If you're not expressing a character's thoughts, feelings or opinions your narration should be factual, otherwise you're conjuring opinions out of thin air, most likely your own.
