No, it's an attempt to work around GR2, export its assets and reuse them in DAT-files for SH5. What we don't know at this point if it is actually possible to replace GR2 completely (especially regarding animations and more complex models like interior that may have hardcoded stuff vs GR2), but who knows. It's a step in the right direction anyway. To import previous SH-units, that should technically already be possible from what I've read, although there are/were (?) issues with AO-maps. In the end, the conclusion may be drawn that we 'do' need GR2, and then you will see attempts to write GR2 importers for sure
