The "cloud" is a really vague term. You could lease a VPS, install X and NX, remote in and voila, you are running GIMP in the "cloud". Heck, you could lease a Windows VPS, RDP in and then run GIMP. These are bona fide "cloud" solutions.
I am not sure what you mean by "only data (and commands) passed back and forth". Do you want a client side GUI, while offloading the CPU intensive stuff (like filters), or are you talking about running the whole thing in a browser? I guess what I am trying to say is that slapping "cloud" on the name of an idea does not really say a whole lot. There are a lot of very different ways you could leverage an IP network with remote resources (this is all the term "cloud" really means).
