Yup, that’s exactly what this is. If you’ve been using generative models since the early Stable Diffusion days, it’s a pretty common (and useful!) technique: using a sketch (SVG, drawn, etc) as an ad-hoc "controlnet" to guide the generative model’s output.
Example: In the past I'd use a similar approach to lay out architectural visualizations. If you wanted a couch, chair, or other furniture in a very specific location, you could use a tool like Poser to build a simple scene as an approximation of where you wanted the major "set pieces". From there, you could generate a depth map and feed that into the generative model, at the time SDXL, to guide where objects should be placed.
