It's actually more like Sonos. Airplay streams from the device to the receiver. With this (and Sonos) a command is sent to the device which does the streaming on its own.

I'm not sure that's totally accurate – I think AirPlay has multiple modes of operation, including the ability to stream directly from a third device.

I don't remember the details of this off the top of my head.
