It isn't a task switcher though is it? It just lists the apps you used recently, not the ones that are open. AFAIK you need a separate app that is binded to the home button to get different behavior.

Due to the way Android garbage collects & prunes processes, it depends. It's a task switcher/recent apps view.

That's the same way the iPhone "application switcher" that was previously mentioned works.
