For offset that would be a CMYK pdf, for digital I think it is the same?

For digital it is RGB. It's not really a strange workflow... SharedInk would normally have you just lay out your pages in Photoshop and save them as 10 quality JPEGS. My guess is this poster might be including quite a bit of text or several complex layouts... perhaps a little more complex than a photo book.
So this method will allow him to "design" his book in InDesign. The Press Quality PDF will preserve the layout at the highest quality. Bringing it in Photoshop will give him the ability to convert it to a JPEG without any quality loss. SharedInk wants JPEGs because that's the files they read (and probably applies a fixed set of "tweaks" to) and interpret "visually" for their digital output... be it an HP Indigo or whatever.
