So if I'm using the Radial Filter, I can create an adjustment and save it as a Develop Preset which appears on the left panel.
Can the same thing be done with the Brush tool?
For example, could I paint a "light-leak" using the brush tool, then save that local adjustment as a Develop preset on the left, then apply that to other images?
Or is it only possible to save the Brush's settings as a preset?
I downloaded their presets, and checked out the .lrtemplate file in notepad.
It looks like they've somehow custom edited the code to include Local Adjustments made with a brush in the preset :-o
Like they've somehow made Local Adjustments with a brush, saved it as an XMP, then used the data from the XMP to create the lrtemplate file.
Not quite sure how they did it, maybe there's a tool to do this kind of thing?

Here's how to manually edit a preset to include brush strokes:
1. Download and install my free Show Catalog Metadata plugin. Follow the instructions for one of my other plugins for how to install it, e.g. Export LUT Lightroom Plugin
2. In the Develop > Presets panel, create a new preset called "Brush", with just Exposure checked.
3. Right-click the preset and do Show In Finder / Explorer.
4. Open the file Brush.lrtemplate in your favorite text editor.
5. In Develop, apply the brush strokes to a sample file.
6. Do File > Plug-in Extras > Show Catalog Metadata > Show.
7. In the window that pops up, copy the block of lines that starts with "PaintBasedCorrections = {--table:" and all the lines that are indented underneath that line.
8. In the text editor editing Brush.lrtemplate, replace the line "Exposure2012 = 0," with the block of lines you copied in the previous step.
9. Save the file.
10. Restart LR.
