How does this even work? I’ve never managed to penetrate the MS API’s for chat, and as far as I’d found it’s impossible without apps installed by your workplace admin.

It just does the same things the official client does. The fact that it's a REST API makes inspecting the traffic relatively easy, although that trades off efficiency compared to the custom protocols that a lot of early IM clients used.
Note that the resemblance to Skype (and even references to Skype in the source code) are not coincidences; Teams is AFAIK largely based on the same backend as MS-Skype.

Early teams was fully compatible with skype for business, they were 2 front ends for the same API. The API has changed a lot since then but the very basic things are still skype-themed
