No, I miss nothing here. Whatever prefix password hash begins with, if

But that has to do with authentication, not whether the account is locked.
"Locking an account" here means "invalidating password hash". So effectively
that means "disabling password authentication for account", nothing more.
That would make sense if the password file was the one and only way to
authenticate so you could usurp the concept to control the account - but
it isn't when you use PAM...
