But it seems they only revlealed some of the code and not the engine nor assets.

So compiling the code could be pretty difficult.

Is it actually missing the engine? That looked like it was there when I skimmed a couple of the repos

Missing assets is pretty common when they open source commercial games, the rights of the art is often more complicated than just doing the game code.
