So when they say they're running without a server it means they are running on Google servers? I thought serverless meant.. no servers

Serverless means I can't ssh into the server.
Serverless generally means that you don't have a server / servers in the sense that you don't have some specific dedicated server(s) that you can point to running your code, not that there aren't any servers involved in making your code do its thing.
"Serverless" is just the latest buzzword, like "cloud", there's a server involved somewhere (if the app isn't completely P2P, anyway).
