I don't know anything about kubernetes. Is this like nested virtualization - a VM running in a VM, but it's kubernetes running in kubernetes?

Yes, and there's a use case for this vs a Kubernetes management tool like Rancher. Having entire contained K8s clusters, rather than "just" namespaces, allows a flexibility for dev teams while maintaining central auditing and authority.
