I don't think this is technically correct. There are many focused images being produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEMP3XEgnws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEMP3XEgnws

The physics is exactly the same as a conventional lens, because each micro lens is conventional lenses.
It's all conventional, up to the point of having to separate all of the real, focused, images to make one clear image.
For proof, if you block all the micro lenses, except one, you would see a boring, focused, real image projected onto the sensor. In fact, the original light field cameras, that you could buy off the shelf, had a single, separate, image per microlens. Looking at the image in this press release, it looks the same.
