Oh I may have missed that part. So the WACZ (indexes?) can contains offsets into the WARC file itself to each individual page?

WACZ is a replacement for WARC that has the index with offsets built in.

But it uses warc files inside as the archive format. It seems weird to call it a replacement when the original is still present.

I just meant from a user's perspective it's a format that superseeds WARC. But internally, yes, one is an encapsulation format for the other.
