You got it! You are sending input to a remote system, it is inputting it on a console on their side and streaming the video to you. That is why ping time is so important, because that is the lag of your input to the remote console.

Just think of it as if you are playing a streaming video, because that is essentially what you are doing. If you were streaming a 1080p video at a constant bitrate, it wouldn’t matter if it was a ps3, ps5, upscaled nes or the latest episode of Black Mirror. The resolution being sent, bitrate and ping are all that matters.
If you are an Apple person, I've been using GameTrack for years. It's great and new features are always being added.
