no. According to the wiki, It was just used for fearmongering as dissuade pirates.

Yeah obviously I mean I know it couldn't work, but I've never even heard of this as a copy protection method. What was it used on? Like Hollywood?

It was used in only one VHS tape called Cat Sitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEDxj-0Hbao

Yeah. Playing and recording uses the same mechanism in a VCR. Writing uses a different method but it would be on the second tape. Unless you tried to record over the tape which I don't think works on non-recordable anyways.
