Yes that's it.
We used them in school buses to locate shorts in rear lamps. You are correct . Connect the "capacitor" across fuse and it clicks. Then I believe we used the meter along the path to locate the short.

I've had one in my cart a couple months waiting for the magic $99 and free shipping of stuff to accumulate. Not a clue how well it might work on our cars, but its a common short finding technique (guessing radio frequency signal is put on wire and you follow it to ground with the meter).
