Morphology
Meaning is directly compositional: 'hillbilly' describes a rustic/unsophisticated style applied to 'hot tub', so a learner who knows the three words can infer a makeshift or rural-style bathing tub. While the derogatory nuance of 'hillbilly' is cultural, the basic referent (a rustic/improvised hot tub) is transparently derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
The noun hillbilly hot tub may come from the picture of a country hillbilly turning a barrel or cattle trough into a simple hot tub and warming the water over a campfire. So, the phrase now means 'a simple, homemade outdoor tub'.
