Your browser sends a request to Google's server with the Host: yoursite.com header.

Google looks up this hostname in a (very large) database mapping hostnames to websites, then serves the corresponding website.

This database includes App Engine apps, Google Apps aliases, BlogSpot blogs, and other things.
