You are right in your understanding. Apache HBase is not bundled with the Apache Hadoop release, but the article rather meant that it now supports HBase better.
Also, Apache Hadoop 1.0.0, being a rename of the 0.20.205 series, has append/sync APIs from branch-0.20-append, not the hflush/hsync, which are newer APIs available only in 0.22 onwards.
