Also, is the boost supposed to be additive or multiplicative with other IP boosts?

Also also, it would appear that the boost doesn't work for Customs.
Yes, they get the boosted IP from playing in internet cafes, but that's because a large chunk of Korean summoners only play at these locations. Since they're pay-by-the-hour style shops, a lot of summoners can only play so many games a day/week/month, compared to others around the world with home internet service that can effectively play League 24/7.

Korean players tend to play League of Legends primarily from these locations. In Korean PC Bangs, players pay by the hour to play the game of their choice in a social environment. Within this environment, most game titles (regardless of price) are offered to players via a reduced pricing structure or for free to account for the PC Bang’s usage fee. Our approach is to allow players to select any champion when playing League of Legends from PC bangs, as well as earn a small amount of additional IP. This feature does not affect Korean players when they log in outside of PC Bangs.

When this feature is active, you will see a small medal icon in the top-right corner of the League of Legends client, be able to select any champion, and earn an additional 20% IP at the end of matches. This feature does not actually “unlock” champions, so you will still need to own a champion in order to buy a skin for them.

At this time we have no plans for large-scale implementation of this feature in other regions.
That is pretty cool... (i wish i lived in korea

This is great! i am a korean player but i do not live in korea (sadly) and i know that most korean games give you a bonus for playing in PC bangs(literal translation is rooms its not pronounced how you think it would be) and i think many korean players would love this. Great idea riot!!!

If I knew I could get all these rewards, I would have already banged my PC. The more you know I suppose.
