I thought this too, but looking a bit further there's already refugees living in the US in motels and so on, burning through their 'welcome cash'. Not sure about numbers, I just looked at one example of a family from Afghanistan who arrived just before the ban. So the housing offered by Airbnb hosts in the US would be, I presume, for people like this who are living in motels currently.

I wonder what these refugees who made it to the US typically do for housing once their motel money runs out? Are they on a waiting list for government housing or something? I guess they would receive welfare payments to cover rent, or just need to find work.
