Are you not then liable for UK VAT, as you would be if you ordered from overseas and shipped to UK?

Nope

You pay the host nation's VAT and then they reimburse you.

It's a scheme to encourage tourism I think.

There is a duty free allowance of £390 (per person, per trip). Go over that and you do have to pay VAT and duty. That's what the red channel is for.
