Yeah, there's no free energy, but if you can capture energy that would have been lost and repurpose it, that's pretty close. That's the beauty of most hybrids. The electric part usually isn't adding extra energy from outside the system. Its capturing and storing energy and then timing its use in a way that allows the gas engine to be most efficient.
This system is similar, but instead of actually driving the wheels with that energy, its driving a turbo, which allows the engine to be most powerful rather than most efficient.
