So how this works with federation? I don't see any open/common API.

It's "federation-as-a-service", basically.
A common use case is federation between two Slack teams (share a channel).
Another common use case is federation between a group in Skype and a channel on Slack.
Or IRC and Telegram, etc.
Making existing systems work together really well is priority one. API only makes sense once that's done.
