The split in the hallway (purple and yellow, connecting and arrivals) all goes to the same place - the tunnel to T2 proper.
In the connecting side, there is a double door that, rarely, is open and allows passengers on designated flights to bypass the tunnel, clear security at the T2B, and exit back upstairs.
It is not in use often.
Added: There is a pic of the transfer door in the consolidated connections thread - where most of these posts probably belong, tbh.
