It will depend on where the video source is located.

Streaming video from a source locally on the iPhone utilizes the H.264 MPEG format without compression.
Streaming video found on the Internet, the AirPlay-enabled device will open a direct connection to the Internet source. The device is being authorized to access that source and no actual streaming occurs between the iPhone and the AirPlay-enabled device.
