I don't own a HomePod, but I'm curious, when something is transferred in this way, wouldn't it be simply like sending it to the Homepod via Airplay?

You can lock the screen. But you cannot turn off the phone entirely, or even close the app which is the source of the program on your HomePod. Thus, it is not the same as a Chromecast, where you can completely turn off your device once the Chromecast has taken over.
