From that link, it looks like they do compress and use JPEG2000 for it, with a max bit-rate of 250 mbit/s. IIRC 4k blu rays don't do more than 100 mbit/s, so that's quite a bit better.

4K uses h265 though, so I’d bet it achieves quite a bit better quality per bit.

Good point, and personally I've never seen compression artifacts on well-produced blu rays.
