Is this going to lead to client-side content blocking in countries like China, where they could mandate that all iPhones now install the content blockers? The benefit is obviously that the content blocking gets distributed.

No. Their country-wide firewall is sufficient, and there would be no way to enforce a rule that everyone install some iPhone app. (And most Chinese users aren't using iPhones.)
