Very old noob here. Is this going from a typical spinner to like an heavy Barrel type rotating joystick ?

No, it's WAY too high resolution for an optical rotary joystick.  There were 5 games (Fighting Soccer, Caliber .50, Exterminator, Touchdown Fever, and Touchdown Fever II) that used an optical rotary joystick like the green-handled Loop-24 stick that is basicly an 8-way stick combined with a 24 pulses per rotation spinner.

 

Heavy Barrel, Ikari Warriors, and similar games used a "clicky" mechanical rotary joystick like a yellow-handled LS-30 with a 12 position rotary switch.
