Exactly so. The colour filter over the top turns four Greyscale pixels into 1 colour pixel. I think the video mentions a RGBW filter:

RG
BW

Where the W is white. Since each colour sub-pixel reflects 1/3 of the light of a white pixel, adding the colour filter reduces the brightness by half. Actually, I suspect that each colour pixel reflects a bit more than 1/3 of the light of a white pixel, so the brightness of white (when all pixels are showing their colour) will be a bit better than half the brightness of the plain screen.

I was very dubious of this technology, but it is looking better than I'd feared. It may prove good competition for other colour bistable displays after all.
