You are exactly right Zmix, it has a cap switch across the hot and neutral.

Do the grounds shown refer to a chassis ground or just a reference to the circuit ground?

Both, the circuit ground will be tied to the chassis, usually through the input jacks.

The A.C. leakage through the cap on the ground switch is what gives you a nasty shock when the ground switch is in the 'wrong' position and you touch another amp or a microphone...
