It actually doesn't cook, as that requires heat. However, it does have the same effect cooking does, that is, denaturing proteins. Proteins are denatured (ireversibly changed) by cooking and by immersing in an acidic solution. Lemon juice is an acidic solution.
Denaturation helps the meats palatibility and can positively affect how long the meat can be kept, just as it changes its appearance by changing the color.

Salt does the same thing...it makes it safe to eat..
Cold cuts (pepperoni, for instance) is cured -- the meat is never cooked.
