http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.web:
"This component allows to make a web application based on a CGI script."

The Web component makes it possible to write a server-side web application similar to how PHP, ASP, and PERL do. PHP and ASP, 
though, are not CGI-based while PERL is. (And by the way, PHP, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets are not interchangeable 
technologies. PHP is a server-side scripting language, JS is a client-side scripting language, and CSS is not a scripting language.)

Yes, you can write a web page, home or otherwise, with the Web component. For an example, start Gambas and create a new project 
selecting Web application for the project type. Once the project is created, you can look at the code. Another example can be 
found in the Software Farm. Under the Examples category, you will find SmallWiki. Use filters to find it faster.

Where are you seeing it written, "browser is terminal"?
