Can somebody explain this like I'm a 5 year old?  Is this just using colored coins basicly?  Their in no way buying bitcoins correct?  Except for the dust amount required to make a colored coin representing the bond?

Don't get me wrong, this is another step in the right direction. 

You are right. They will use open asset protocol, specifically colored coins.
