Yes, it's about pausing. You pause the AI so it doesn't need to perceive the 200ms gap at all, unlike a human who will always perceive the interruption. Yes, then you run faster than real time to catch up.
Yes, humans can listen to audio faster than real time to catch up, but it degrades the experience and there is a fairly low limit to it. When talking to an AI you don't have to skip or speed up at all on the human side, is the point.
