Yes, I understand that part, that's my understanding as well. But the key is that the 1 stop underexposure is "burnt" into the RAW (unlike cameras settings, which don't report 1 stop underexposure), together with (totally guesswork here) some flag that later instructs that a different tone curve is applied during processing. Of course you can develop RAW as you like.

Normally, HTP applies only to the jpeg file. I don't know, it could be that there is a flag in the raw file that directs Canon DPP to develop the raw file differently by default. But it should still be basically the same raw file.

yes, the HTP is of course directly visible in jpg. But the raw file must have different exposure settings than a raw file with HTP off. It can't be just a different tone curve for RAW development. The differently exposed raw file, combined with an HTP raw developer curve give the HTP effect when done from raw.  That's why I think there must be a flag somewhere. Perhaps it's even embedded in the same flag(s) as the "picture style" flag curves
