It's a bit of both.  Historically, all "security" features like this
in ICQ have been client-side; including things like requesting
authorization from users before adding them to the contact list. At
some stage, the option to not let others see your IP address was also
a client-side thing; the ICQ client knows the address, but didn't
show it if the user requests it be kept hidden.

They've been improving this lately, though, and a lot of things are
becoming server-side issues, which the client can't do anything about.

So to answer your question -- yes, it's implemented in licq, but,
depending on the other user's version of ICQ, it may or may not work.
Licq can't tell you anything the server doesn't tell it.
