Is it also used to shut the FBH off after a while?

Yes, and then, when you turn the engine off, it blows lots of smoke and emits a rather scary sound
From RAVE: The ambient air temperature sensor controls a power supply, from the alternator via the Engine Control Module (ECM) to the FBH unit. The sensor is installed on a bracket attached to the body behind the RH side of the front bumper valance. The sensor contains a switch that is closed at temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F) and open at temperatures of 5 °C (41 °F) and above.
