Yes this is true, and 100% as intended. The keypress application is to
run a command on every keypress (the descriptive text is obviously not
obvious enough).

You need to enter the location of the channel change script in the
external command/channel change field for the capture card input
requiring the external script, in mythtv-setup. Whenever you browse to
a channel on this input in LiveTV or whenever MythTV starts a
scheduled recording on the input, the script will be executed.
