It is different because it works. On some Windows machine, I don't dare setting this flag to true because the OpenGL pipeline is not in a very good health in Java under Windows (whereas it works fine under GNU Linux).

This flag only enables to accelerate some operations including transformations, it has nothing to do with a fully hardware accelerated Java2D implementation.
