It has nothing to do with Waltham at all. It is completely orthogonal.

You still have the Wayland compositor beside the application, and the
compositor is still serving Wayland clients and using something else on
the network. It could be waltham or RDP or VNC or HTTP... neither the
application nor the wrapper-libEGL would care.

The libEGL.so wrapper could help by converting the application output
to wl_shm in the application process, which is the alternative to
implementing support in the compositor for handling all the different
hardware-related buffer types. Both ways presumably work, and with
slightly different characteristics.
