This method returns an object type but if it is not registered, by convention, it does. Just check C generated for a GObject.
For libraries, some times, you need to register objects in the type system before call some method, just check libgda's gda_init() at line 152: https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgda/tree/libgda/gda-init.c For C you call a macro, it calls object_get_type(), what is the effect of call in Vala typeof(ObjectName)? May this is where you can have registered a type, because it should call get type() behind scens.
