Please bear in mind on Panny bodies we can only enjoy lens OIS or no IS. Unlike 5-axis IBIS Olympus bodies which allow shooter to choose IBIS and lens OIS whichever is more effective, hence for them they might choose to disable lens OIS and use IBIS only, or use an IBIS priority setting. This is not applicable to Panny user!

So if I get a Panasonic lens for my G80 with an OIS switch on the lens barrel and switch it to the off position, am I also switching off IBIS?

Yes, no IS at all.

For Panny, only non OIS lens can use IBIS.

IBIS will never be used (except its role in DUAL IS) if the camera can communicate with the lens and know it is an OIS lens. Shooter cannot choose to use IBIS or Lens OIS or DUAL IS... Only the best IS or nothing.

Oh well, thankfully Olympus have quite a few options if I want a zoom lens without OIS, which will allow me to use IBIS only.

Yes, because of the history of development (Panny is non IBIS for quite a long time, naturally it never considers to allow the selection of IBIS or Lens OIS) I agreed with you that Olympus is more flexible on this.
