Looking at the plugins source it seems you are right.

The video just gets replaced by the plugins text.

I am not sure if this would even save much battery if running in a tab.

No. The extension is not fake. It changes the video source with the audio file URL but it does not blocks the video. The video file is downloaded but it is never used. That's what I said
