Isn't this just a LP version of the VG strat?

nop, VG strat changes the pitch, this changes the tuning

I thought the VG strat did that too?

The VG strat essentially has a pitch shifter. You play strings that are tuned normally and it changes the note to a different tuning for you.

this system physically re-tunes the strings rather than modelling the tuning

That's pretty impressive - look at the pics of the Strat tuners in this review, they're enormous!
