It says in the FAQ that "Subscribers specify a URL as part of the subscription registration; notifications will be delivered through an HTTP POST to the specified URL." Is this PubSubHubBub?

Yeah, in its essence, the data flow is nearly the same as PuSH, that URL is named as callback in PuSH.

No, they just POST you the message (+ optional subject) as JSON.
