That’s it exactly. It’s not really meant to give you a shorter wait, it’s to make sure the wait isnt longer than what the queue can hold. I’m assuming the negative feedback from not being able to get a boarding group is probably similar to what they’d get with a 3 hour wait all day so might as well not have a line snaking to the UK and causing crowd control issuesI didn't check precisely but it felt long and was well over a half an hour. I don't expect instant access but a VQ to enter a long standby line kind of defeats the purpose.
It's really just a capacity limiter. I doubt the wait would be much different if they gave you an "access pass" instead of a specific return time and just let you enter the line whenever you want during the day.
