Maybe it's terminology confusion? CBUILD just means the machine from
which the package is being handled, not necessarily just "built".
Like amd64 builds the package, then installs it to
/usr/aarch64-pc-linux-gnu. That ROOT directory can either be used by
qemu, copied to a real aarch64 system, or used to make binpkgs.

Yes, and it wouldn't work without any installation given e.g. need
to install cross libraries to link with it.
IDEPEND is fairly rarely needed anyhow, at most may have a eselect
module in there.
