It's publishing because it creates a public short URL that can be shared with others, put in microblogging updates, etc. So you are in fact putting it in a public place to be viewed. After a file has been 'publish' via Ubuntu One, the menu item changes to 'Stop publishing via Ubuntu One' and a very useful 'Copy Ubuntu One public URL' shows up.
It's a very nice feature, and one that hasn't received nearly enough publicity.
