Not really. It more or less just makes a webapp able to use native functionality, like camera, accelerometer, contact access etc, through JavaScript, and wraps it up as an installable app.

The funny part is that PhoneGap has become Apache Cordova, and Adobe PhoneGap is now a distribution of Cordova, whatever that is supposed to mean in that context.
