Did a little research on this, it seems that the obs-gstreamer version of these VA-API encoders(the ones listed as 'GStreamer Encoder H.26X') was just a feasibility test - fzwoch/obs-vaapi#22 (comment).
The author recommends usage of the modern obs-vaapi encoders instead - fzwoch/obs-vaapi#11 (comment) - which are packaged in 'com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.GStreamerVaapi' and are listed as 'VA-API H.26X on {GPU}', with no issues regarding the lack of this runtime; only requiring it for use of its legacy encoders - fzwoch/obs-vaapi#19.
That is still broken functionality of a plugin by default, however, and a lack of functionality for another. Something of note is that on uninstallation, there are quite a few flatpak packages that can make use of it.

Yeah that checks out. I know OBS includes VA-API encoding too but apparently it doesn't work as well as the gstreamer one? Info on this is all over the damn place sadly. I'll need to double check some things on my end to clarify
from bazzite.
The ones included in OBS are the ffmpeg ones.

Aight so we don't want those at all lmao those run really badly, we want the VA-API stuff.
It does look like however for ideal functionality you DO still need the freedesktop dependency as seen on the flathub repo here https://github.com/flathub/com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.GStreamerVaapi

Ok, done some poking about.
The bare minimum you need for the correct VA-API plugin to work is the following flatpaks.
com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.GStreamerVaapi
org.freedesktop.Platform.GStreamer.gstreamer-vaapi//23.08
The package above in bold is seemingly entirely missing from Bazzite's install process from a cursory look through the code at flatpaks. I'm only seeing reference to the first plugin (which is correct) but no references to the freedesktop runtime which is required for functionality which lines up with what I mentioned in my original post.
It's worth noting that this plugin is just the VA-API GStreamer part that has been yoinked out of the larger GStreamer plugin which is no longer maintained, it's very similar code though.
Upon correct installation the following encoder should show up in OBS, format of "VAAPI H.264 on Device xyz" see screenshot below.
So, to recap, bazzite is currently shipping with the correct VA-API plugin (this is good) but it is missing the required runtime out of the box seemingly to properly make use of this plugin seamlessly (not good). All that would need to be done to rectify is adding org.freedesktop.Platform.GStreamer.gstreamer-vaapi//23.08 in as a runtime dependency and then you'd be golden.
Also worth noting is the legacy option, it's obviously not being developed anymore but may be of some use to some people, to enable that you need the 22.08 version of org.freedesktop.Platform.GStreamer.gstreamer-vaapi. This would be optional for the most part though.

I'm getting the legacy option from the 23.08 runtime, but that could be because I'm on Navi10. From my testing, I only need 'com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.GStreamerVaapi' for the new VA-API to show up and work correctly.

Weird. So either the documentation is jank and we don't need any extra api's or you do need the api for something but god knows.
don't you just love wonky documentation
