Does this depict behavior of a real physical sensor installed at some distance from the window?

You have almost answered your own question. If the photosensor is active, it must read a light level to know if it needs to turn on the lights. It reads the
calculated daylight at the sensor and calculates the electric lighting to add to reach a set lighting level?.

When photosensors are activated in EnergyPlus, the output daylight illuminance in each zone is available. How does EnergyPlus separate daylight illuminance
from electric illuminance? In a zone both electric lights and daylight are available a photosensor can tell the combined illuminance not separately daylight illuminance.
