iOS restore doesn't trust anything; that's why you need an internet connection to do it. This proxies the internet connection.

It _sounds_ like this is just the standard restore path, only now it can be done wirelessly. Restore/DFU is an erase all content path - there are some cases where restore can avoid erasing the old data, but that path requires the device pin, and if you know the pin, then you definitionally don't need to jump through any hoops to unlock the device.
