Just tested it here in Chrome (installed from Google directly on opensuse). One must enable the setting, and on a new tab "OK Google" starts a search. But Chrome asks if google.ca can have access to the microphone, like it would for any other site wanting access.

So the feature really only enables the microphone on the canned google search page, shown on (not quite) blank new tabs.
