$Demo.PSTypeNames
$Demo | Get-Member -Name 'VisableMember', 'HiddenMember' | Select-Object Name, Definition
$Demo | Get-Member -Name 'VisableMember', 'HiddenMember' -Force | Select-Object Name, Definitionproduces the following output:

As you can see from above, to get the hidden member 'HiddenMember' you must use the '-Force' parameter and thus showing it is indeed hidden. Also, no tab completion for the hidden member is available, all as expected.
Only thing unexpected was that the Get-TypeData does not return True for the 'Ishidden' property of the hidden member. This happens even if you provide an PS1XML Types File or from a module.
