This text seems to imply that's what happens. If it didn't add the enhancement bonus, then adding the "This spell functions like greater magic weapon" part doesn't make any sense.

The explanation that missing which you'd have to go looking for has to do with base enchantments and DR
e.g.
+3 weapons bypass cold iron and silver DR
+4 weapons bypass adamantium DR
+5 weapons bypass alignment DR
the spell basically gives you the DR bypass benefit of a higher enchantment without the benefit of the attack and damage bonus.

I agree, that's what it does as written. Note that versatile weapon also has a shorter duration than greater magic weapon.
