Yes, as I said, I feel it probably is not.

That said, I am not sure if the front sight post presence itself is definitive, as the more important interface I think is that there is a six o'clock connection between the handguard and the gas block area at the barrel (which is also present on the standard QBZ-191). The front back up iron sight dovetail is a little less definitive I believe.

I updated the photo highlight below. The photo shows two screw holes on the upper side and one at the 6 o'clock position.

That is practically the same to the screenshot of front sight assembly from Cabbage's video (shown below), so I'm fairly certain the barrel is not free-floating.

I think this handguard is using the same front sight post as the regular polymer handguard. Which mean they both not free floated

That and more M-LOK slots for whatever you want to put on the gun.

It's interesting that they don't free-float barrel though. Is that because the accuracy impact of free-floating the barrel is negligible for a carbine, or they're just too lazy to do it?

They probably pitch it as cost effective upgrade kit since it doesn't require new barrel nut and could reuse the front sight post of the original handguard. Kinda like KAC handguard.
