Arch (and derivative) systems can install it through the AUR, but I do not know any distribution that offers it through their normal distribution channels (packages sources) already.

Of course nixpkgs has it. It was added a few years ago, I can't vouch for if it is up to date or still working.

Once installed, does it run as an application? I'm using Aurora, but it has DistroBox, and I'm almost certain that I'm able to get Arch programs installed through it.

It is a DE, like regular KDE, GNOME etc. At your OS's login shell, you should be able to select it once installed. If it is the only desktop environment on that system, it will not even be needed to get selected as the appropriate session gets started when you login.
