I got this from the Impress Remote Protocol specification. It has
"activate blank screen" (the black screen you get at the end of a LO
Impress presentation, "Press any key to quit..."), and it also has a
"resume" function which takes you back to your slide. I also don't know
why people need this but I guess someone might use it.

Apart from that your analysis/ description is correct.

This is controlled either manually (as with the Impress Remote, except
you need to have the JS Remote server/ backend also running). You
select your presentation manually and visit the Impress Remote website.

But this was created in conjunction with my GSOC project, in that case
you're uploading presentations through the "LibreOffice Appliances"
program (https://rptr.github.io/gsoc has more details.)

Interesting idea, I think this is what LibreOffice Appliances does?
Maybe I've misunderstood.

Thanks for the mockup, I'm implementing this design.
