It's a bit of both. It can configure itself to be a virtual camera (similar to OBS), which could then be consumed by OBS. It also has built in features for directly streaming to twitch/youtube/etc and skipping OBS entirely. Likely an embrace, extend, and extinguish strategy on their part.

Sorry, you're correct. The stream to twitch/youtube/etc is part of Nvidia's Geforce experience, which Nvidia Broadcast can tie into.

OBS can be used as a virtual camera? I assume not out of the box but only with some third party software/plugin, right?

There was a plugin available for a few years now, but as of this release (Version 26.0) there is official support for it out of the box
