>Or does this actually wire inline in the AC circuit being sensed?

Yes

>I thought these type of sensors were non contact.

Internally there is a sensor that measures the magnetic field created by the 
current being measured. Hence there is no electrical contact between the 
circuit under test and the measurement circuit.
