No, this headline is very misleading. Blackholes eat everything that crosses the event horizon and nothing* ever escapes from that. But lots of thing near the black hole don't get sucked straight down.
Everything a blackhole pulls on already has momentum on it's own, so the black hole's tug causes it to spin around the blackhole. Angular momentum is conserved, so what happens to most matter is that the blackhole grabs it, and slings it hard in another direction, very little actually "falls" in. The stuff it slings out tends to move in similar directions, and that can cause things to clump together and form stars.
Additionally, all the spinning around the blackhole generates heat and radiation, this gets ejected in massive bursts coming out of the rotational axis of the black hole. This stream of energy can hit other dust, heating it up and causing it to condense. This can lead to a birth of a star.
It's long been thought that blackholes can form stars through those methods, but this is the first time it's been observed. Not groundbreaking, but does confirm a theory.
Sounds like a massive fun mud slide. You slide in with a bunch of dirt, then you get flung back out into space. But dangerous because you might get stuck in the hole or get caught by the flame thrower. If this were a theme park, it seems like it would be in VHF run by Stanley "Who wants to drink from the firehose!?" Spadowski.
