Those are all Chrome Apps, which run as a pluginized extension to the Chrome Browser.
Then there is Crouton of course, as mentioned above.
Since ChromeOS is a derivative of Ubuntu, it is easy (relatively speaking...) to run Ubuntu via a chroot, integrated into ChromeOS by simply running the extra bits via Crouton's magic.
Alternatively you can install Ubuntu the normal way, bootstrapped via ChrUbuntu.
