I was a bit disappointed at first when I realized that this is a guided structure or an outline of what one should study rather than the full material. But I was told this is a translation/language problem. Maybe I shouldn’t have expected that?
In the OED, a curriculum is a “regular course of study or training”, referencing the use at the University of Glasgow. Whether a course of study refers to the structure of learning or includes specific learning materials, seems to be rather debatable. Wikipedia has a long section on the various meanings.
I don’t think MDN is breaking any new ground; ACM uses similar terminology in their documents on the definition of computer science education. The term “standards” seems to be the trend in public education, though.
The MDN page does include links to some tutorials for certain subjects and it sounds like they plan to add more references, including to courses that people can take.
