I just had a brief read of the protocol but my understanding is yes, there is nothing like onion routing or similar that could disguise to a peer that is serving the data that the requester is indeed the one who is interested in it.
If I can still get fined or disconnected by my ISP for what I do on the network, the whole "indistinguishable from random noise" and "forward secrecy" really mean nothing as an end user.
Maybe this is also why they underline in the preamble that it is suitable for running over Tor.
