Does this mean that now Java-based GUI software (e.g. Android Studio) run using OpenJDK will display much better fonts?

No, not at all. The problem was never on FreeType side, it was always on Java side.

Recent versions of IntelliJ are bundled with a patched version of OpenJDK though, so that particular case should not be a problem anymore.
