I described it as "webmail" because everyone knows what Hotmail or Gmail looks like, and how it runs within a browser window. It's a lot easier than trying to describe Outlook as a web service to someone who may not know what that is.
This is all a moot point, though, as you're not going to get that same functionality inside the Safari web browser on the iPhone (unless MS has changed the OWA web app sometime over the last year).
Also, just to clear things up... If you set up the iPhone via the Exchange Account option in the Mail settings, then you're actually connecting with ActiveSync, not OWA. You're just using the domain name for your Exchange server, which (of course) happens to be the same thing you use when connecting through OWA. There's no such thing as "OWA Sync." OWA is nothing more than a web application you run within a web browser. It has no other purpose than that.
