Is this essentially the same thing as encrypted loopback filesystems?

No - the primary benefit this filesystem claims is that you can have a system with write access without knowing the private key to read data back, so even if the system is somehow compromised, the attacker doesn't get to read the sensitive data written.

Except that that the kek and horrible crypto are different in this project, it's really not a different approach.
