How is it displayed? Is it played through some program or is it just using that input to interface with the monitor directly?

Well, if the thing is just going through to your monitor, it's not like your computer can actually "see" the data that's coming in. If there's no DirectShow interface for the port, there's no way to capture it.

To me, it personally just seems like some sort of HDMI passthrough.

Yeah that definitely looks like passthrough only, you won't be able to capture with it. It basically turns your laptop screen into a monitor with HDMI input.
