The claim is made that the OX-2 engine has piston rings. The
impression that I get initially is that it is a swash-plate motor
with a rotating cylinder block in a round case.

Theoretically, the swash plate should cause the pistons to have a more constant rate of acceleration and deceleration.

On the other hand, the statement has been made that the engine
fires four times as often as a conventional four stroke engine.

The only engine which I have seen recently that made a similiar claim
was the Split Cycle engine, also from Australia.

Instead of a crankshaft, the Split Cycle engine uses "geneva wheels", which look like ratchet gears.

Split Cycle has a web page. The URL is ozemail.com
