Aevamo’s reading
The arrêté du 22 juillet 2011 (as consolidated) is the instrument that imposes the visa requirement on foreigners entering New Caledonia (Article 1(b)) and grants the exemptions in Annex II; it is the text that creates the obligation rather than one that reports it.
Annexe I of the arrêté places the travel documents of EEA and Swiss citizens in the same no-entry-stamp class as EU citizens, showing they are treated as beneficiaries of free circulation rather than visa-subject foreigners.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
