(we're assuming that he got bitten by a radioactive or genetically engineered spider on a school field trip). We could keep going further and further back with that line, "Would Peter know Tony Stark or be interacting with people like Nick Fury if it weren't for Dr. Ho Yinsen?" (the man who helped Tony Stark escape)
Would Vulture gone after Peter had it not been for Stark's involvement? The answer is yes, Spider-Man was inserting himself into stopping Toomes and his men regardless of his relationships with Tony Stark. Toomes was committing crimes and Peter happened to be in his vicinity.
Would Mysterio have gone after Peter had it not been for Stark's involvement? The answer here is no, Mysterio was after EDITH specifically, in fact he was pretty content with leaving Peter alone after he got them, the only reason he decided to kill Peter (and even lamented having to do it) was to wipe out witnesses.
