I saw a design for category representation that I really like. Can we implement something similar on our Discourse-hosted community, or is this a specific theme or plugin?

You can definitely implement something similar. (That is a hosted Discourse community too)
As a starting point I would use the “Boxes with Subcategories” desktop category page style.
Then your box will look similar to this one
You can also add a category logo in the category settings
Then you can add some CSS to style it the way you like
Tip: you can not only inspect your forum but also your example
