Correct. It'll plug into the fuel rail(s) causing the engine ECU(s) to think the fuel rail pressure is lower than it actually is, so that is compensated by raising the pressure in the rail. This gives a power increase and is by no means the proper way to do it at all.

A good remap will always be better.
