Indexes can only be used with WHERE conditions that are of the form
indexed_column operator some_expression
where the operator is one of those belonging to the index's operator
class. You haven't told us what operators you put into the operator
class for this new data type, but in any case the function
ndpoint_overlap is not one of them.
