Because of the coupling, any current flowing through one half of the winding creates an equal but opposite current in the other half.
Correct. It behaves as a 1:1 inverting transformer and since it needs to be inverting, bifilar is not an option. There was a large discussion here a number of years back about this and it is still my belief that using the terms "Autoformer" or "CT choke" stem from how the circuit is often drawn and not how it actually operates. My description of the circuit has the primary of a 1:1 inverting transformer acting as a grid choke for the in phase signal to one of the output tubes and the inverted secondary providing signal for the other output.
