you make the neutral/ground connection yourself. i did it at the back of the transformer as it's now the new power source, but an argument could be made for doing it at the distribution panel.
i think the only thing that disqualifies it as abyc compliant is the lack of a metal case, and possibly the lack of an accessible faraday wire.
the ul marine cert and the european cert is good enough for me. the surveyor i talked to about it was perfectly fine with it too. i think the plastic case is a good thing, nothing to rust or short out on.
they recommend hooking a small light bulb on the input to help reduce nuisance tripping when you first energize it but i don't have any issue with that.
