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.
