It's unlocking based on a proximity sensor in the handle that senses your hand in conjunction with the FOB in range. That same prox sensor will lock the car for you if you hold your hand by the handle before you walk away.

This all requires interaction, though, and is not automatic. The range of the FOB alone does nothing for any of this.

The delayed re-lock if I don't open the door after hitting unlock on the FOB occurs though. That's totally expected and normal. It's a safety mechanism for accidental FOB button pushes.
I could be wrong about the keyless entry, I was basing on the ones I've had experience with, which is not the one in the BRZ.
