The real power behind Phonegap is that it enables you to build to different plataforms without any IDE, directly from the CLI.
Once a project is correctly configured, you can just type:
$ phonegap build ios $ phonegap build android $ phonegap build wp8
and Phonegap builds your app for iOS, Android and WP8
The syntax is identical when you build your application remotely using PhoneGap build
$ phonegap remote build ios
$ phonegap remote build ios
$ phonegap remote build ios
So, a wild guess would be that PhoneGap build is just a grid of nodejs servers running PhoneGap and a custom interface to receive project packages and serve the compiled apps
