I think it explicitly says that it uses the same idea as Meteor's:

> Rather than writing database queries in the backend and exposing API endpoints to the frontend, these solutions allow the frontend to directly access the data layer (secured by a permission system) using the same query API that backend services have access to.

I don't think so because in Meteor.js you rely on iron-router and need to painsteakingly define and manage who can do what, and subscribing to new documents coming in the wire?

The concept of subscriptions is completely separate from the router you use. At some point you would need to define who can subscribe to what documents, in any system with private data. It is called ACL.
