I'm not 100% sure I understand the technique...

-In order to hum you need to emit the sound out of your nose (if the sound comes out of your mouth then that's singing).
-In order to emit the humming sound out of your nose while playing the clarinet, you need to use the air from the cheeks to produce the clarinet sound, just like you do in circular breathing when taking a breath.
-So each time Fröst hums a note, he is actually using only the air from his cheeks to produce the clarinet sound. Sometimes, after the hummed note he also quickly takes a breath before returning to normal blowing.

Is that how everyone else understands it?

It still sounds a bit clumsy, but that's forgivable considering how complicated it is to do! Go Martin!
