Nothing of the sort. Rather just like the comm overlays: displaying data independent of the game.
The big "but" is, that the overlay technique necessarily relies (as described earlier) on rather dirty methods (hooking into DirectX/OpenGL). VAC could be configured to allow steam-overlay (as it's official) but alert on any other... Hence my question mentioning Teamspeak and Mumble.
But as we obviously do not know if VAC is active, we cannot test and find out... The only definitive clue would be somone who has been banned for using Mumble or Teamspeak - and that's the clue I would not like to have.
