If I understand your question correctly, the web server (Apache) and AMFPHP are running on the device itself. The browser is just what the user has on their local machine (Firefox, Safari, IE, etc). So if I was the user, I would open a browser and navigate to the IP address of the device. The device would then just serve up the application. To use a real device as an example let's just say the device is a DVD player and you have the ability to log into it via it's IP address on your network and do some low-level configurations on it. Make sense? I confuse myself on this sometimes :)
