gpg-preset-passphrase: cache id

Hello,

I quote from the man page:

###############################################################
gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] cacheid

cacheid is either a 40 character keygrip of hexadecimal characters identifying 
the key for which the passphrase should be set or cleared. [...] Alternatively 
an arbitrary string may be used to identify a passphrase; it is suggested that 
such a string is prefixed with the name of the application (e.g foo:12346).
###############################################################

How is a passphrase with a cache id like foo:12346 used? Is it tried for all 
keys which do not have a keygrip entry?
