So pretty much if the feature affects the calculation of the result, it's a modifier and follows the general rule for 1 and 20. If the feature replaces, redirects, or rerolls the result, it's not a modifier. That seems consistent across all examples from this thread, I think.

Basically. A nat 1/20 can be overwritten/rerolled, but no amount of math changes the results.
A Dev had answered a Q&A for a similar feature https://twitter.com/mikemearls/status/677325521831596032?s=20&t=H2ebVBYsm_L9yPfk4E1Zgg
