Yep. Good old NAT, in this case in IPv6 form. What they call NAT66.

Strictly speaking, that's expected. Outside world does not know about
your network topology. What is does know is to send packets to
2a03:9800:10:54::1 (*not* :2) in hope of reaching your :8000::/65.
The problem is - how your IPv6 gateway (54::1) can possibly know that
your custom subnet (:8000::/65) is reachable if you have not announced a
route?

That's something that I need to think about.
