It is just marketing spin. "File-based CMS" just means an editor/authoring tool. FrontPage was a file-based CMS. Dreamweaver was a File-based CMS. Heck, Sublime Text can be used as a file-based CMS, if you are comfortable with WYSIWYG not being a requirement.

I wouldnt say so, its cms that instead of database uses md files. But you can do very similar things like with cms that has regular db.
