On the other hand, you still need to host all files on your own servers, witch contradicts a CDN...
They contradict themselfs to... They call themselfs a CDN, but they DO say they work great with a CDN on the same website...

You'd need to host all files on your own server even if you used a CDN. Dependent on if you used push or pull, the files will always originate from your servers. Push = files are automatically sent to the CDN when you upload them to your server. Push = Files are only sent to the CDN the first time they are requested by an end user.
Then you have CDN storage to contend with. You can either opt to use their storage, in which case (mostly) files reside on the CDN nodes forever or you don't use their storage and the files expire from nodes at a specified time.
