That is emulation, using I would guess qemu. The ipad hardware is capable of full hardware virtualization.
fwiw, qemu is not always strictly emulation. On macOS, QEMU supports using Hypervisor.framework as a backend for fast same-arch system virtualization. This is also technically possible on M1 iOS devices (w/ forged entitlements) as you mentioned and someone actually did that recently
