In my experience it only scribes the back edge just like a marking gauge, the difference from a traditional marking gauge being the pin is very close to the end thus it doesn't strike the rebate on a door casing when marking out. Maybe there are different standard versions?

edit- just googled images-

This is the type i was thinking of.

This type is also called a butt gauge it seems and is prob what your refering to?
