I just want to confirm something. When a rogue uses their Cunning Action to Disengage, that doesn't actually mean they've moved anywhere, does it? It simply means they've used their Cunning Action to Disengage and that any movement after that does not provoke opportunity attacks, right?

This tactic does have potential. I think it turns the rogue into a pretty sweet delivery system.

It does not grant any additional movement, if that's what you are asking.  Using disengage as a bonus action allows you to, for example, move 15 feet in, attack with your action, disengage, and move 15 feet out (assuming a movement of 30 feet), or you could disengage from an enemy with your bonus action and then use your move and a dash action to get 60 feet away - Although you could also Disengage with your action and Dash with your bonus - either way is the same.
