Once a new rom is updated do we still use manila 2.5 or is the point of the rom to replace the manila upgrades over the verizon software rom, to make it run natively and obviously faster since now we can run it on the subsystem?
sorta newbie looking for some clarification, hope you can help me and the rest of the peeps out there trying to grasp an understanding how what this means.

You're on the right track.
A ROM (read only memory) is the image that stays on the device memory and will load if you do a hard reset. The device is released to the public with access to the ROM locked. Now that it's unlocked, people ("chefs") can create ("cook") a custom ROM for the device (in what they call a "kitchen", or development platform). The custom ROMs can include whatever the chef wants so some will have Sense 2.1, others Sense 2.5, etc. I just downloaded the NRGZ28 Sense 2.5 ROM with the Co0kie Home Tab mod built it. It also has a ton of other stuff already included.
Once loaded on the device you can make customizations to the ROM. If you were to hard reset you would start back at the original version of the ROM. Now that the device is unlocked you're free to flash as many ROMs as you'd like, including the VZW 3.04 one if you want to return your phone to "stock" or take it in for a warranty issue. It's by far the coolest thing I've experienced with his phone so far.
