I haven’t worked with databricks before, is the databricks catalog similar in concept to the kedro catalog?

to some extent yes, although they can be used at the same time. for example, a Kedro dataset that points to a table in a Unity Catalog

I'd say the focus is slightly different. Kedro's catalog is mostly useful for organising your project's data with built-in data connectors, where users will interact directly with the catalog. Unity Catalog target the backend like query engines and solve problem like access (role baed access control, i.e. how to share a table to different group of users) etc, you do not necessarily need to interact with it directly.
