Does 'bypass' in this case mean replace? I understand it functions as a Voltage dropper and a slow-start device for the 300B's plate Voltage.

The 5U4G isn't functioning as a slow-start device because it is directly heated. An indirectly heated tube like a 5AR4 starts conducting slowly and the voltage ramps up gradually. But a 5U4G conducts immediately and the full voltage appears without any gradual buildup.
Yeah, I agree here, and the 300B doesn't need a soft start - it will conduct immediately as well.
