Figured out how it works, and confirmed with my VERY smart son.
Yes the whole cylinder fills with pressurized oil. The pressure presses on the shaft END moving rod despite not having a shaft end seal. Only need an end seal for a double acting cylinder so you can have pressure on either side.
Time to reassemble.
