That should be correct or close, subtract is very well-known pixel blending algorithm. Often used in various ways, including motion detection (any pixels that differ between two frames turn white, same pixels turn black aka null for example assuming a motion detect algorithm), IOW, it's the pixel equivalent of an audio null test.
Let's say pixel A has a value of 100 and pixel B has value of 100, then 100-100=0.
FWIW, the video processor preset subtract works this way IIRC so anything moving gets rendered, otherwise black, it's pretty cool looking actually, no need to listen, just look - it's from last year when I was testing reaper vid and a looper at the same time.
If two videos are overlayed, the black is probably just the underlying video content per Justin's demo - haven't tested though. I am pontificating some here but I think it's close.
