It does, from an iOS device:

Using the TiVo App on an iPhone or iPad, not directly from the TiVo Bolt box:

Today, TiVo^® has announced that TiVo users now can stream their recorded content from their iOS devices to an Apple TV^® via the AirPlay^® feature. For the first time, TiVo users can access their recorded content on TV via a third party consumer electronics device, thereby giving TiVo users yet another ultra-convenient way to watch their favorite recorded shows.

Why?

Your TiVo Bolt and Apple TV connect to the TV the same way in the same location.

I guess you could attempt to use the TiVo app on an iOS device and AirPlay the content to the Apple Tv, but seems redundant and unnecessary.

No. They're independent devices that have to be connected to your TV separately.
