It's possible the IBM Z requirements are for the "Virtual Dev and Test for z/OS instances" component, and the x86-64 requirements are for the other two components, "Virtual Dev and Test for z/OS web and Software based license server" and "Image storage server".
These components are mentioned in the hardware requirements.

What are those two Intel Linuxes doing there? Surely, surely this doesn't in any way involve i64 emulation on real zArch hardware?
