I'm sure it was not. With specially prepared USB hardware you can read out main memory without any protection, and thus get around DRM. So they surely wanted to counter that.
Source? Very skeptical that what you said can work without running anything on the system, which would be detectable on its own.
It was an older flaw in Thunderbolt ports that could do this. Thunderbolt had the ability to request raw memory blocks over the DMA bus, which worked at the hardware level, completely bypassing the operating system. I believe this has since changed though.
