The book describes all of that in detail: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/
It's definitely required reading for Hg newbies; it helped me a lot.

In distributed version control, repositories are basically peers, and  
revisions can transfer between them in any direction. However, you can  
build different types of configurations out of this, including a CVS/ 
SVN-type central server. It's mostly a matter of conventions, and  
access control. Again, the book describes this in some depth.
