LNAV/VNAV is a Boeing term...and their version of these approaches (at least in the 747-400) is far inferior to the FLS used in the 380 and 350.

Basically, in those aircraft the system produces a synthetic ILS, which is flown and displayed, exactly as per an ILS. It does have to be part of the FMC suite of approaches, but I see nothing on the approach plate that would preclude it from being there.
