You understand it correctly: it doesn’t remove any value from fixup; instead it just means you can fixup to whatever and move the commit visually to where you want it — doesn’t have to be the main/trunk branch, and you can do it whenever is convenient.
That’s where I made the comment about not actually running fixup. Instead of claiming to fix a SHA, I leave myself a note like “fix tests” so I can move it appropriately even if I get distracted for a few days
