Oh yes, it even says on their webpage that they're NA DEAC and not to confuse them with the older defunct "Patten University".  https://www.patten.edu/accreditationandlicensure

It is the same. Same President. Same location.

Elmwood is meant to provide educational opportunities in Africa and the goal is for it to become a stand-alone degree granting university. 

This is certainly conjectural on my part, but I would be surprised if Elmwood substantially expands their offerings at this price point to people in the US. I would think they are trying to offer degrees through Elmwood in anticipation of seeking accreditation for it independent of Patten, establishing a history of students attending and graduating from Elmwood, and/or building critical mass of students (of any origin) prior to shifting to African students primarily or exclusively. 

It doesn’t make much business sense for Patten to cannibalize their own students from the US long term.  Again conjectural, but I would imagine they will raise the price to American students (to be more in line with Patten) or restrict to African students eventually.

Honestly, I doubt Patten University is getting many enrollments. The price is too high for degrees that can be gotten elsewhere from schools with better recognition. So Elmwood could be a bigger play than it seems because Patten may need it to stay afloat.
