The LinuxONE line is, I believe, a series of Linux-only mainframes; z/OS is not an option on them. They're IBM's entry-level option for businesses who salivate at those mainframe reliability numbers but don't have any OS/360|OS/370|z/OS apps and don't want to pay for the support on those systems.

I think you're right it can't run the apps, but I see it's running z/VM as the hypervisor.

Only for Linux guests. It is also possible to run kvm

IIRC, IBM Cloud's Hyperprotect VMs run on KVM.
