Yes the horn ends the period, however I can see the reasoning for asking especially in noisy gyms where it might be hard to heard a short horn blast.
The term is timer. You say you have a rule book so it should be easy to look up. Remember, on this forum, we speak officiating, therefore we use officiating terms.

Also if the timer really is concerned with the horn, he could very easily test out the clock by setting it close to zero and letting the clock run. All he would have to do is note how much time was on the clock before he did this.
