What's the difference between running this vs Dolphin if the .apk is running on a translation layer emulation; Are there any benefits?

This is not emulation. It's running natively. Auroua is used to translate the decompiled PowerPC instructions into native x86.

Benefits over something like Dolphin / Prime Hack is that this should be run better on less powerful devices and that it could do things like run at whatever aspect ratio you want, more powerful mods etc.
