I`m not sure what you mean by "this", but any generic tool ($30 on Amazon) that is able to clear the codes and show the readiness monitors can be used to pass the smog test, IF the error code does not come back right away. Of course you need to know what to look for. Probably that`s what the shop did. They didn`t fix anything but they cleared the codes, drove the car until the readiness monitors finished but the error code did not re-occur (yet), and took the car to smog. If you know what to look for you can be sure the car will pass. If the code had come back immediately they would not have taken the car to smog. That`s my understanding.
