>"streams it directly to the Chromecast device from the cloud". So you are right about it being somewhat different from airPlay
AirPlay will send a URL to the Apple TV if possible. If you're streaming a video from a web page, it most likely will just send the URL to the Apple TV. The only communication with the device is the control channel.
