Are there ways other than OWA? Is OWA part of Exchange ActiveSync? I didn't think there were any other external facing means to get at the Exchange server than OWA.

Exchange ActiveSync is what you connect to when you select Exchange as your email account type, and enter your email address and password to connect.
Connecting that way means your email goes into the Mail app, your calendar goes into the Calendar app and your contacts go into the Address Book app.
OWA is nothing more than webmail. You access your email through a web browser, and it's used just like you would use Hotmail or Gmail or even Shaw/Telus webmail. OWA is not part of ActiveSync, since there is no "sync" taking place at all.
