I mean, in theory it could. But in practice it'll just output lat, lon and a quaternion. Its going to be hard enough to get the model to behave well enough to localize reliably, let alone do all the other things.

The dataset, yes, that'll contain all those things. but the model won't.

You don't know for sure the model won't contain non-location data, like I noted the additional blurb vaguely said: "And, as noted, beyond gaming LGMs will have widespread applications, including spatial planning and design, logistics, audience engagement, and remote collaboration."
