I’m pretty sure google drive just acts like a syncing tool in the same way as dropbox, so this would still act like a normal swap drive, presumably.
That said, I’ve only used swap partitions so I’m not sure how it works when you point it at a directory, but I guess it depends how this person set it up.

They’ve used google-drive-ocamlfuse to mount the drive in Linux, which if I recall correctly is direct access, rather than the way it works in Windows

No they didn’t. They used rclone and mounted Google drive in vfs-cach mode which means it’s firstly written to the drive before it’s synced to the cloud
