If the circuit is powered by a battery or a wall transformer, this is what makes it voltage regulated. Not very good voltage regulation, but adequate for the use. The resistor, if sized properly, will have the effect of "limiting" the current since, as the current increases, it will cause some of the available voltage to be "dropped" across the resistor (some voltage is used forcing current thru the resistor) and less voltage is available to do work across the CS cell. This has the effect of turning down the total voltage across your cell. Strictly speaking, this would not be "current controlled," but just "current limited."
