> Once that's up, there will be an issue with prebuilt images if they don't provide an ARM build. Does docker run on macos (amd64) now? I thought it ran in a Linux vm? If they get the vm to run, all images should work exactly the same as before (modulus any hit for amd64-on-arm vs amd64-on-amd64)?

They do. It uses a Linux environment for it. The issue is anything compiled or baked into the image using x86, won’t be able to run without yet another translation layer. Could end up being Mac arm > qemu emulating amd64 cpu > docker vm (Linux amd64) > whatever application Could be done, just adds another layer to translate things and overhead.
