Afaik, it only disables biometrics. BFU means the entire phone (should be) encrypted. You can test this by playing media and then pressing the lockdown button. If the media continues playing, it’s not encrypted.

If you can’t shut your phone down for whatever reason, disabling biometrics would be the second best option (assuming police cannot force you to reveal your password).
