It's not an array, but a way of using a variable as a key in an object.
const name = "key"
const example = { [name]: "value" };
This would result in
const example = { key: "value" };

Depending on the model, the camera might be physically disabled when the lid closes. [1]
In general, if you don't trust a device one hundred percent, you shouldn't use it anyway. You have no way of knowing whether or not your company enabled the root user and added some shady, untraceable-to-you software prior to giving you the device. Also, Apple MDM software is zero-configuration, so they wouldn't even have to open the box. [2]
Why not just ask your employer what kind of tracking they do, though? I would totally understand them tracking the location of the device for insurance reasons, as long as they are transparant about it. It's still company property. "Listening" to the microphone seems a major breach of privacy whether you're at work or at home, and I'm sure your local laws prevent you against that kind of corporate behavior. Also, who would want to work for a company that does that, anyway?
I'd just use my personal device for personal stuff.

Interesting for sure. But it’s not FOSS, which really is a shame. Can’t know for sure that it’s not phoning home unless you’re sniffing packets 24/7.
Link [2] is the implementation of a vector. Link [3] is a test file implementing a vector of strings.
