part 121 hours are hours flown at part 121 carriers. European carriers fly under the EU equivalent, which doesn’t translate unfortunately.

Which I guess is a requirement at most regionals anyway and will never happen at any of the majors. I just want to make sure if I commit and pay $13k to convert my licence and 737 rating, I won't be caught out by any technicalities.

Ok, thank you for the clarification, so this just means a pilot who's built their experience in Europe cannot upgrade to captain until they fly 1000 hours in the US with a part 121 carrier, right?

But I wouldn't say it won't happen at the majors... several legacies have unfilled CA slots and several have awarded CA assignments after less than one year on property. Not the norm, but it's happening right now. But they do not require that you be upgrade eligible to get hired, that would rule out many military pilots.
