Ours has a little insulated compartment for making the ice. But most of the mechanics/circuitry/piping are outside of the compartment in the back of the fridge.
The ice maker compartment alone is responsible for a significant amount of cooling in the rest of the fridge, and it's very uneven as a result, but it works okay.
While the maker itself is super happy in these conditions, you will get problems if you do not regularly use ice. If you let the ice pile up it ironically is too good of an insulator and causes the stuff on the bottom to melt and refreeze. So you need to run that auger once in a while and make sure it doesn't dam up in there.
