It's all that, plus a bag of chips.
Sharepoint has features similar to a CMS and to a Wiki and a document management system but it does it all in a smooth, clean and effective manner. But, most importantly of all, it does it through the integration of the MS Office suite. Documents are easily added, edited, tracked, published on the corporate intranet and more all from within Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook etc.
There's no need to log in to some crappy website with a completely foreign look and feel and have to learn yet another stupid way to post a document. With SharePoint it's two clicks and your done. Need to access last year's version of that imp[ortant company document that has been changing on a daily basis. Just a couple of clicks and you have it from Word or the web.
As far as avoiding it, you are already on top of that situation. You haven't a clue what it is, despite this articles acknowledgement that FOSS is lacking in this arena(heresy only months ago) and is, yet again, trying to keep up with Microsoft. But, you're better off not knowing, fighting Wiki anarchists and blogging about the "Borg".
