From the description it appears that the USB File Manger is a separate window that allows you to browse and copy files to/from the device as you could with non-MTP models. No conversion involved.
Right. This is just another way to side load 3rd party content, which you can do with OpenMTP or calibre.

It does not in any way address the lack of a Download for transfer via USB option for the 2024 Kindles.

But at least now they are no longer directing you to what used to be a download page for Android File Transfer as they did prior to this; AFT has been effectively retired and the download link removed (it had not been updated for years).
