In my experience, creating books in languages that don't use the Latin alphabet usually only requires setting the correct language codes/direction attributes and embedding suitable fonts. Obviously, book creators also need to be familiar with typography conventions. E.g., French books require Guillemets (« ») and non-breaking (thin) spaces before colons, semicolons, questions marks and exclamation marks.

However, books that contain Indic, RTL and CJK characters are usually only supported by epub3 readers/apps and current Kindle models/apps. (Kindles and Kindle apps have always supported CJK characters and Amazon recently added Indic Noto fonts to the Kindle firmware and the Kindle apps.)

I also got the impression that the page is primarily aimed at drumming up business.
