I would imagine the netting is to stop things being thrown over yes. It is also present when going down the stairs to Satellite 3 as the stair-case goes under the wall for UK border control.
Unless it's changed very recently though it has been possible to directly connect, or pass something over to someone, at domestic Sat 2. In my case Glasgow-Ibiza or Porto.
If you arrived into Sat 2 with a printed boarding card for somewhere else, would they turn you away if you tried to get into the main departures area saying "sorry, I accidentally walked to the wrong gate"?
