The way I read their info is that it is Mac OS software that will run natively on compatible older Macs with OS 9 or earlier. The emulation I think refers to programs like SheepShaver which allows older stuff to run on OS X and Intel macs.

Yes, you can get the software on your computer. I do it all the time. You download the program from macintoshgarden, put it on a usb or cd/dvd, then transfer it to the computer and unstuff it with Stuffit Expander.
