Reading it, think he's speaking conceptually. In practice it's more that PyCharm and WebStorm are both IDEA's base framework + language extensions. In the case of WebStorm you get IDEA + the HTML5/web dev extensions and in the case of PyCharm (commercial edition, anyway) you get IDEA + both the Python and the web dev extensions.

I believe RubyMine is the same, if not all of the other paid IDEs in the Toolbox. They all include WebStorm's functionality since you can build a web app in pretty much anything, at least on the back end.
