No, it instructs the stream server to go into Limited Cam mode where access is based upon whether your username is on the allowed user list.
Basically the same as Private except for two things:
1) the Public cam feed is replaced by static graphic (saying Cam is Hidden), and
2) public chat is still open.
The CrazyTicket app, (in fact
all apps and bots), runs on the streaming server, the broadcaster interacts with it via commands - nothing to do with the client web browser.

I doubt that this app has any ability to direct the webcam website to stop publishing the stream to everyone.

That's exactly what it does via JavaScript commands to the server:
cb.limitCam_start - start a hidden cam session
cb.limitCam_stop - stop a hidden cam session
cb.limitCam_userHasAccess - check if a user has access
cb.limitCam_allUsersWithAccess - list all users with access
cb.limitCam_addUsers - add users to the access list
cb.limitCam_removeUsers - remove users from the access list
cb.limitCam_removeAllUsers - remove all users from the access list
cb.limitCam_isRunning - check if hidden cam is running
Commands available via the API are
here.
