I remember seeing this same system on a go-cart. Yes, it worked just the way you said. The engine ran at a fixed optimal speed and the "gas" pedal controlled the transmission ratio, however not the way you think. The variable clutch pully acted like a governor. As the engine speed increased, the transmission ration would change to try to speed up the wheels, thus putting a greater load on the engine.
