If that position Is won for Black, I somewhat doubt advancing the king like that is the technique.

You may be right!

White might win this with a pawn now on the 7th.



Edit: Of course the winning method must be to use the Q to give checks and pick up the pawns without allowing their advance beyond the 5th rank.

When the Pawns are more advanced, the (black) King plays a critcal role....as demonstrated.
