As I understand, It uses Telefonica's proprietary (and misleadingly named) OpenTok platform. The README you linked even mentions specifying TokBox credentials.

You are correct, Hello used OpenTok. To enable Hello with NoScript active one had to whitelist opentok.com and tokbox.com

Loop Server was indeed open source but sat downstream from the WebRTC and STUN / TURN provider

Interesting to see OpenTok's pricing, though presumably Mozilla had an 'arrangement' with Telefonica:
