The @font-face allows developers to specify online fonts to display text on their web pages, which eliminates the need to depend on the limited number of fonts users have installed on their computers.

So, meaning that the developer can create his/her own font differently for the particular website

Not really. Not everyone can make their own fonts. It means that authors specify a URL for an existing remote font file location. You can of course upload a font then specify a URL for it. Edit - Correction: Specifying a remote URL doesn't mean the font files are on another domain. Both font and the page in wich it's used must be on the same domain. The developer may've downloaded the font from somewhere else, then they upload it under the same domain as the page.
