When I enabled that option to unlock with watch and tested with another person near me wearing mask can unlock the iphone as well. Is this the way this feature works?

Today I updated my iphone xs and watch series 4 and I tried the new feature unlocking iphone with mask. I tested with someone else but me to wear mask and unlock my phone and it seems that works. If person wears mask can unlock it and if not wearing mask the phone can’t unlock.

iPhone 5, iOS 10
