I think he's saying you take a left at a green light, onto the neutral ground area, but you are immediately met with a red light. Do you wait in the neutral ground area or continue to run the red light.

Exactly. These are all over the place. Here's a map of one over by the West Esplanade canal - the red and green dots and arrows show the lights and flow of traffic.

If you are traveling westbound and turn left (south) you're immediately hit with a red light. Can you treat that red light as a stop sign (which is what I was told) or do you have to wait.

no you stop at the red light until it turns green. If you treat it like a stop sign and and cause an accident you will be held 100% at fault

Why would they have the light there if you weren't supposed to wait for it to turn green? Wouldn't they have just made it a stop sign in that case?

In the photo you included the only traffic that would ever hit that light is traffic turning left off of W. Esplanade, so of course the expectation is that you wait for the light to change.
