Perhaps the photo does not show the true deployment of these devices, but if that IS their actual working placement, then the person using these is shortchanging themselves.
As a general rule of thumb, an Argent type diffusor should be placed about as far away from the wall, as it is wide, or the diffusion won't have enough space to fully develop. It can be angled, and this provides more spacing allowance, but placed up tight against the wall = bad.
A dowel based device will work just the same for the simple aspect of diffusion as a set of pipe/tube based diffusors, except that they won't have the slight amount of damped Helmholtz bass control that the pipe/tube based devices will.
That much round wood is costly, and PVC pipe is a lot cheaper, and can still be painted or otherwise decorated just as well as a wooden dowel.
If you don't want any Helmholtz action, then seal the ends of the pipes.
