Is the Cairo/DirectWrite example actually rendering the same non-Latin characters?

Yes, the text is the same sequence of Unicode code-points. I could probably clarify that in the text.

That’s pretty crazy. Would the example on the left even make sense to speakers of those languages?

Probably many speakers would be able to decode the text, because unfortunately it still happens quite a bit, but it's definitely not a great experience.
