Morphology
The meaning 'a form of Buddhism practiced in Tibet and neighboring regions' is directly and predictably composed from 'Tibetan' (pertaining to Tibet) + 'Buddhism' (the religion). This adjectival modification pattern (place/adjective + religion) is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Tibetan Buddhism came when Buddhism from India moved into Tibet and mixed with older Tibetan beliefs and ways. So, Tibetan Buddhism means 'the form of Buddhism practiced in Tibet', with its own teachers, monasteries and practices.
