  The video card will blit video onto areas of the screen that match the
color key.  So say the colorkey is blue, then if you draw a blue box on
the screen, the video card will overwrite that blue area with video.

  So, to me this sounds like colorkey not chromakey.

  You can't do traditional chromakey effects where you film a blue
screen and have the hardware overwite that blue area with some graphic
of your choosing (or show the framebuffer through it).
