If you use WebTorrent in node.js, it's a normal torrent client. It will download files to your computer.

If you use WebTorrent in the browser (include <script src="webtorrent.min.js"> in your page), then it will use the new WebTorrent protocol (based very closely on the BitTorrent protocol) to download from other web peers. You can see this in action here: https://instant.io/

(Feel free to ask followup questions even though I'm going to close this issue)

Correct. With http://instant.io, your browser is the torrent client.

If you want to torrent files "in the cloud", then you can install node.js and webtorrent on a server.
