It's actually for both types according to the articles in Nature

Yeah but the person "cured" had type 2.
There might be applications for type 1, but that's speculation.
The articles suggest that it may be beneficial for Type 1, but that's unconfirmed. The nature of early-stage clinical trials is that people don't really know how things will work. That's the point of the trials.
