I would guess that it works the same as tethering. (Well, it is tethering, only via Wi-Fi and not Bluetooth or a cable.)

Carriers can turn tethering on and off so I also wouldn’t expect this to work with every carrier. It has been possible to circumvent these carrier preferences in the past, though. I just don’t know whether that’s still possible and whether that will be possible in the future.
