This three node description is for the install guide, where our goal is to
get you to be able to launch an instance or store an object for example.
For running a real production cloud there are many more considerations. I'd
suggest reading the Operations Guide first, such as
http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ops/content/cloud_controller_design.html
which says that the cloud controller is just a simplification.

There's a much more detailed description of each service in
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/compute-service.html

The nova project works on launching instances, scheduling which host it
launches to, providing the REST API service, allocating network and storage
resources to VMs. I have seen orchestration used for these collective
activities. When you want to orchestrate several cloud resources in order
to run an application such as WordPress on a virtual platform, then you
orchestrate the application with the heat project. Read more here:
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/orchestration-service.html

Hope this helps you dig deeper into the documentation.
