Yes, GeoServer forms the middle tier of a three-tier web application: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture#Three-tier_architecture
The three tiers: (1) One or more spatial databases that contain vector or raster data (2) GeoServer connects to the database(s) using JDBC and delivers OGC web services (3) The presentation layer is a web browser (e.g. OpenLayers) or GIS rich client (e.g. QGIS) that consumes OGC web services Other architectures including service cascading are also supported. Please see the user guide: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/ Kind regards, Ben.
