I think this is how it works. I am just guessing though, as I have never used or operated a dyno.

The dyno measures wheel speed and wheel torque. Using this info, the wheel power can be calculated.

Engine power = Wheel power + losses

Using engine speed and engine power, engine torque can be calculated.

Mathematically its sound.
