It creates a chroot, downloads and installs all required packages and then builds your source package. Btw., the base chroot is about 80MB (gzipped). How big it gets when building depends on the dependencies, but I never had to download 800MB (if I understood correctly, you don't want to build the whole distribution, just a single package, rigth?)
