I'm assuming that this is going to work natively via LLVM, as Kotlin's original target was JVM bytecode, which should work fine on Android right now.

Today, Android cross-compiles JVM bytecode to its own non-JVM bytecode; I'd assume they'll continue using a two-stage approach for Kotlin.
Kotlin claims future capability for "Native" applications. I assume that this is separate from "Android" applications, even if these are compiled to native instructions.
Correct, they are working on targeting LLVM
