Yes, that's exactly it. It uses a database compiled by NGOs and specialized firms comprising of file hashes matching child porn. These lists are handled by humans.

Fuzzy means that it takes compression and the like into account, because even if just one pixel out of 20 thousand is different, the hash is different too. Fuzzy hash still recognizes it as the same image, so using an algorithm to alter the color etc. won't work.
