This doesn't appear to ban using translation layers.
The text is "You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using Software elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-Nvidia platform".
That would appear to (attempt to -- it may not be enforceable) restrict the creation of translation layers. I don't understand how you could infer "bans using translation layers" from the above clause, and indeed the tweet they're referencing does not.
AIUI Zluda is something like Wine, in that it's an API reimplementation. It would be weird to call running Wine reverse engineering, decompilation or disassembling -- it's effectively just linking.
