Absolutely none at all. This does not provide us with any information about wormholes we didn't know before (other than perhaps some of the details of the sort of quantum computing setup you need to simulate one), but it is a very cool demonstration of the simulation capabilities of the quantum computer.

This is the correct reading of this result. ADS-CFT correspondence says loosely that the maths of some gravity things matches the maths of some quantum things, when you look at them in the right way. In this experiment they set up the quantum things, looked at them in the right way, and (through the lense of the maths you have to do to look at them the right way) they behaved like the gravity thing. The specific gravity thing they behaved like is a wormhole.
