As I understand it, that particular executive order has to do with Presidential records - that is, records that are created while he is in office. It gives directives to the National Archives, etc. As far as I know, the executive order does not direct the state of Hawaii to do anything with regard to his vital records. They are covered by Hawaii state law and Hawaii’s UIPA (Hawaii’s version of FOIA).

Perhaps one of our FReeper legal eagles can comment on this.

You are correct. That is a standard Executive Order covering how to handle and store Presidential records (i.e., records after he became President). It has nothing to do with any records of his life before he became President, which, as you also correctly note, are covered by privacy laws applicable to anyone.
