Chances are the "PS2 iso" is just used for the resources -- textures, music, FMVs. All of these things are mostly (or exactly) the same for the PS2 as a PC, so there wouldn't have been any reason to re-package that stuff.
The "small program" to play it on the PC is, in fact, a native PC version of the game. It's not "emulating" the PS2 binaries. It's replacing them with a PC version.
Thus, no, it's not a magical PS2 emulator. It's just standard cross-platform gamedev.
