As others have already pointed out, the article has a clickbait title and is entirely in line with D-Wave's recent marketing push for "quantum realized" to one-up IBM with "quantum utility." This work amounts to brute-forcing an integer with very specific as constraints @rainsford noted. It has very little to do with RSA-2048.

Moreover, D-Wave's quantum computers rely on quantum annealing, not Shor's algorithm. Quantum annealers are NOT gate-based machines. Only for the latter is there a theoretical exponential speedup over a classical computer. For the former, we still don't know if there is any speedup at all. And if there is, it probably is not applicable in general: getting lucky with a specific integer does not count.
