Oic, so not Matrix itself, but Element adding another service in its client.
Does it have any amount of integration though? - As in, can someone using a Matrix client other than Element (and not supporting the Jitsi thingy) know if any 2 users of Element are doing an audio chat?

I don't know. I know the first implementation in element just had jitsi rooms but you couldn't see if anyone was in them, so discoverablity was really bad

I run my own Matrix server. (tuwunel ftw)

Element 1-on-1 calls are based on WebRTC, and are native as I see it. I'm not sure if this works with multiple people, haven't tried it yet but I think so.

The video calls work over a Jitsi plugin, but it's quite bad. Element Call is a Matrix-native video solution and is currently in beta.
