In at least some cases, it's actually the same pads and rotors but just cable actuated, so that it can still work in case of total hydraulic failure. Wikipedia: "In vehicles with rear disc brakes, the parking brake either actuates the disc calipers (with much less force) or a small drum brake housed within the hub assembly (the inner circumference of the disc is often used instead of a separate drum). This secondary drum parking brake is often referred to as a banksia brake." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake#Types_of_brakes |
