The torque in the chassis around it's axis is still reacted to the ground via the strut towers and springs and the forces are reacted through the brace via the three mounting bolts on the top of each strut tower. So although twisting due to driveline torque or deflection due to suspension loading may both create load on the brace via the towers, the stiffening effect of the brace stays the same.
