From what I hear, the guy was a journalist that put the game together in four weeks. There was no original cartridge, as it was always intended to just be a ROM.
I know for a fact that physical media, at least physical versions of already found things, aren't considered lost media. I wrote an article a while back on the physical cartridge for Hong Kong '97 and it got deleted. I feel like plushies wouldn't be considered lost media though because they're not "media" like TV shows, movies, games, etc. They're just physical objects. These, however, I feel count as lost media because they have a game that you cannot play otherwise. It would be different if they were just the normal Dreamcast games in a different casing, but they're completely different games.
Well, the guy who made hong kong 97 is just a single crazy japanese dude. He made up the company happysoft. If someone managed to get in contact with him, he could probably just make another cart.

Pretty sure it would have been hard to get it around were it just a rom in the mid 90s.

The internet did exist then. ROM downloads were only truly popular later on, but the actual scene is older than you may think.
