Yes, the back and the edge touch the stone at the same time. You would use a traditional honing stroke using the full length of the stone, I just forgot to move very much while taking pics.
The motion is the same for both sequences, only the first one does a "rolling X" pattern, while the second set focuses on the "rolling hone" which goes straight down the length of the stone.
