I have the feeling it's an adaptation of the three specials, like how "Rainbow Rocks!" was an adaptation of all the RR prerelease shorts in a single book.

A clue is that the description mentions a "mismatched music video", and one of the leaked songs involve the girls fixing up a bus, apparently ("apparently" for I do not understand Russian) with the intention of using it as a *tour bus* (note all the musical equipment boxes in the background in some shots).

(admittedly, this chunk of information arrived very much later than your original comment)

The novel's description in general also matches the upcoming EqG merch for Fall, which was displayed in the NY Toy Fair 2017 (note the lack of normal-sized dolls, with a focus only on Minis). They mention getting involved in "movie magic" (there's a movie theatre playset). It really wouldn't make sense to make animated episodes that don't promote any sort of toys (like it or not, that's how My Little Pony -- and Equestria Girls in particular -- works). It all really points to this being the novelization of the specials.

Switching topics somewhat, there's a vague reference to "newfound powers" -- the exact same term appeared in some early promotions for the Legend of Everfree dolls, and the girls ended getting brand-new superpowers in the film. Maybe they'll get some more powers in the specials? (Although there's a chance it simply refers to the powers they got in LoE, in a "hey remember this happened last time we saw the girls" way).

The "links to Equestria" part sounds like we'll see an Equestrian travel to Humanistan; and with an Starlight Glimmer human design floating around... Mmm...
