Does this work similar to the python bindings that were ubiquitous a decade ago?

My understanding is that you don't get any memory safety/performance advantage from using Rust because gtk can still be unsafe.

Is this correct?

Even Rust code can still be unsafe. It's a question of where it can be unsafe. You're reducing the scope of code that can be unsafe to specific areas.
