Considering AWS already has 2 entire airgapped dataceters for the US government, I'm pretty sure this contract will entail microsoft building entirely separate airgapped datacenters for the DOD and thus they probably will be able to just show up to their datacenter because nobody else is going to be running anything in those datacenters.

Correct, but those air gapped data centers already exist- there are separate Azure regions for certain restricted civilian government workloads, DoD unclassified work, and cleared work.
