He was specifically talking about ios devices, so it's definitively lightning, not thunderbolt.
Some googling indicates it is indeed just USB 2, so those claims of "much greater bandwidth" are simply untrue:

The speed could be better, but this is still based on USB 2.0 specs, not 3.0 or Thunderbolt. That means gains will be modest, not magical.
