I believe they are referring to the fact that the 'coded' (HTML/CSS) version of the design is paid, and it is only the graphics and layout (i.e. "Figma" design) that is free.

For sure, I get that. It seems like that implementation (HTML/CSS) is separate from the design here, which is totally cool. The designs are open-source and openly licensed, but the implementation is not. That seems fair given their business.
The website mentions how the design world is closed off and they wanted to open this to do something about that. The attitude of "the implementation should also be open-source" seems like it reduces their efforts on the design side.
