It works exactly in the same way as when you click 'OK' in the permissions dialog. Normal and dangerous permission will be granted, but not signature permissions (unless you are signed with the expected key/certificate). Installing an app requires the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission, which is only granted to system applications and the shell user (UID=2000) you are running as when executing `adb install`. You can't really bypass the permission from a regular app unless you already have root access. Note that this is for development/debugging, so you should definitely disable ADB if you are not using the device for development.
