iPhone 15 can limit battery charge to 80%. Does this mean there’s now battery passthrough?

All of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models feature a new battery health setting that prevents the devices from charging beyond 80% at all times...
I limit my laptop battery charge to 80% with a third party software tool. Laptops can generally bypass the battery and directly power themselves from the wall.
Does this new 80% battery limit setting imply that the new iPhones are able to do the same? Implication would be less battery wear while docked on a desk/in a car or due to long “AAA” gaming sessions, since it will draw power direct from the wall rather than using the battery as a middleman.

Pixel phones have been doing this for some time. I don't think it has a relationship to battery passthrough. The phone will just switch to a slower charging speed at some point.
