GraalJS can run Node applications. Not sure how it does though: emulating the API or interpreting Node's C/C++ with Sulong

The Node that comes with GraalVM is the real Node, but with a shim that maps the V8 API to GraalJS. And GraalJS is a very conformant implementation so compatibility is actually really good.
