Did Android even have lockscreen widgets before 4? I thought there were only third party lockscreens with widgets before then.

It would seem that they were released in 4.2: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html

Anyone know whether this is an innovative use of lockscreen widgets by Google, or is this something that's not openly available to other Android devs?

Wondering whether is just a clever app by Google or something that makes it difficult for Evernote et al to compete.

In the comment you are replying to, I linked to an announcement that describes how to make this sort of widget.
