No, it has nothing to do with heat or pressure.

It works by measuring capacitance. It would be possible to make a stylus that has similar capacitance as a finger, but why, when for $100 you can buy a graphics tablet that is pressure-sensitive, larger, and support absolute positioning (which makes drawing on-screen a LOT easier).
