I love Iroh but it doesn't quite work the same as IPFS if I understand correctly.

The way I would put is as: Iroh + iroh-blobs == libp2p + UnixFS + Bitswap, and the latter three are some of the critical components that have defined most IPFS implementations.

It doesn't, it's a lower level primitive. But things like IPFS can be built on top of it.
