its called lifting.
The effect from lifting is more weight transfer than engine braking. When you lift generally you have more traction on the rear tires, upon lift the weight shifts forward removing traction from the rear tires causing them to loose grip and the front tires gain grip, therefore your steering input has more effect causing you to rotate, I really doubt the engine has much if anything to do with getting the car to rotate.
