Yes, that’s the point. If, instead of using/recreating assets yourself, you made the game in such a way that it asks you to point it to a game install folder or ROM/ISO to extract those assets itself on install, you can get away with a lot more, because you’re not distributing anything infringing. That’s why OpenRCT or Ship of Harkinian can be hugely popular games operating in the open; because you have to provide a copy of the game they use assets from, they can use only fully legal assets.
The actual game assets wouldn’t really fit into the style of the game though, even if they went that route. In order to make the style consistent, they’d have to have much higher quality levels and other assets. Also, the name is the big seller (it was a meme before it became a real project), and it’s way stepping over the line anyway. Best case though is it’s set up in a way to load other assets and someone can create a Bloodborne pack with assets similar to how they are now.

Same for many ROMHacks.
OpenGOAL too, with requiring a Jak and Daxter iso
