As someone completely ignorant of the inner working of fonts, how is this different from ligatures? Those also produce special glyphs based on combinations.

It's exactly ligatures. I presume the author avoided that term so you didn't confuse it with the ligatures that are included in Unicode.
Yes this is exactly ligature, I just became aware that it was possible to use wasm for them in HarfBuzz, if you want to see some wasm examples that is not possible with ligatures have a look at https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz-wasm-examples
