So, when I do pacman -S openoffice-base, it will provide me with a windowmanager and a complete Xorg installation to draw my window borders and run it on something to display?

The point here is that in situations like a terminal server or some commercial X-server, you don't want to have xorg-server installed, as you don't need it.
