They aren't connected per se, but still connected. You're not actually playing against players on a single platform. What you're doing is sending and receiving information from Ubisoft's uPlay service, which uses different servers for each platform. The service records your score and everyone else's scores and then updates those across all platforms.

It's why changes in position are so slow to update (sometimes taking up to 5 seconds or more): You're not playing truly live against people, you're getting information relayed to you a few seconds after things actually happen.

So are you all actually playing the songs at the same time and having your scores compared? Yes. Are you actually connected to the players on different platforms? Or even your own platform? No.
