Yes. I have the same impression. It's a nice way to browse and view files but it's something completely different than our official clients that sync files for offline usage. 

So in case it wasn't clear. This is not going to replace any existing piece of ownCloud. It' just an additional option to access ownCloud.

I'm not familiar with the newer Windows frameworks but I think this can't run on a phone. It's only for desktops and tablets.

Thanks to the students of the University of Münster for the nice free software contribution. :-)
