What is likely the difference between this 'action' and just making two
versions of the original , in Photoshp, one optimized for highlights and the
other for low lights and combining the two as a layer combine?

It is an interesting effect.  I assume you can control
how dark or light you make each image in the final
file/print so that you can try to capture what your
eye saw rather than what the film was capable of.

It reminds me of pre-exposing B&W film to reduce
contrast.
