Does it mean it can run Java compiled to Native Image?

It doesn't necessarily mean that but yes you most definitely can run native images - another example showing that: https://github.com/nanovms/ops-examples/tree/master/java/07-... . Both of these pair very well with unikernels. Especially quarkus has excellent boot time and low mem usage.
