You're close... it does work on FWD cars... it's only used on downshifts to keep revs up for smooth engine braking and accel, the actual braking is actually very light... and the technique has nothing to do with drifting (although it's used by drifters)... and if you're driving normally on the street... chances are you're not going fast enough to utilize any advantage heel-toe braking/downshifting has to offer.
