Sounds confusing.
Is cloud where they host your site(s) in many locations all over the globe or country, so that your site(s) load as fast as possible for everyone? Or I think that's something else..

No. This is not what it is. That is called Global Load Balancing.
Cloud is a broad term. And depending on what you are doing, there are different meaning. Cloud hosting, is different then SaaS (Software as a Service). Which is also cloud. For instance Salesforece.com is a cloud product.
Cloud hosting, is when you are using a virtual hosted server. Similar to a VPS, but with a more powerful infrastucture and backend.
