Yes, I think you’re right, that’s probably what they were going for.
So Swedish meatballs is served with “brunsås” (literally “brown sauce”) which is a gravy or roux made from the leftover fat in the pan after you’re done cooking the meatballs. I’ve never seen anyone do a white roux for meatballs. This is then served with boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, pickled cucumber and often steamed carrots.
The gravy is however never served on a meatball sandwich! That’s a completely different thing. Another user mentioned that it’s supposed to come with a beetroot salad, which I’m personally not a fan of, but it would be weird if a “Swedish Meatball Sandwich” was anything other than that.
In general though I’m fine with people taking creative liberties with food, but you’ll have to put some heart into it.
As a Swedish person I have no idea what that white goo is. I wouldn’t touch it, and also I wouldn’t touch that bread.
I think it’s a version of swedish meatballs.

Fair enough. American bread is a step above styrofoam.
I did have a really hard time finding good bread when I visited the USA, but I’m sure there are excellent bakeries if you know where to look.
