When I arrived last year in October they were checking it a bit more thoroughly and compared the name with my passport and PCR test, now it seems to mostly be somewhere they can fill up your temperature and perhaps be re-used in case of contact tracing.
If you filled it online, they have to look it up using their phone/tablet and fill your temperature there, hiccups may occur where they have to locate the person with the tablet or they may have run out of their data bundle
We did both and have our lookup codes stored in our phones as notes. Will have more in about 15 hours after arrival at JNB
