The description and monologues were puzzling but Googling 'Ni-Chome' helped me figure out what exactly I just read here.

Wtf is a onee??
I think it means feminine gay guy but I'm honestly just guessing based on the MC's preference and the small snapshot we got of her past life.
you are correct in your assumption.

It will elaborate a bit on this, because it's clearly confusing.

First of all "Onee" is correctly translated, but something went missing in the process. Normally Onee on it's own is an abbreviated form, the word is usually paired with a suffix like -sama, -san or -chan and pretty much directly addresses an older person of female gender - depending on the speaker's own age and their reltionship. Such as:

Onee-san pretty much means older sister, but is also used by someone younger to adress an older girl or young adult woman. Connected with -chan it becomes more familial and definitely more affectionate. Onee-sama is the same, but -sama is highly respectful. It also has a yuri-connotation, so a girl who loves/adores an older female love interest might address her as "onee-sama".

Now as for this case - it's a specialty of Japanese. Let's take a look at the original title:

悪役令嬢オネエが転生したけど何も問題がない件
Akuyaku reijou ni onee ga tensei...

As you can see here, "Onee" is written in Katakana, and that indicates it's not a woman but a guy who acts/dresses/identifies himself as a woman. Another, rather rude term would be Okama... there is no 100% distinct meaning, it could be anything in the range from a normal acting but gay man to a drag queen or even a transgender person. In this case it's probably an overly effiminate acting gay guy.

Japanese LGBT trope. An extremely camp gay man. They often call themselves "onee" (big sis). "Just let big sis take care of you" and all that. Something not dissimilar to a drag queen, but without the drag.

Often mistranslated as "genderfluid" or "trans," but very very much are not. Sylvando from the latest Dragon Quest game is an Onee character for example, and we constantly have people trying to explain to us that he's "genderfluid" or whatnot.
