Yes it always was and is stored in your profile on the Servers. It doesn't matter on what PC in the real World you log into NFSW, it downloads your profile data (Powerups, cars etc) and there you go.
Whenever you activate a powerup, its 12-digit ID will be sent to the Servers, then the repective amount (nos, slingshot etc) will be shortened by 1, the Servers sent ACK (to explain it simply) and THEN your powerup comes to life and you see it.
Sometimes the Servers are overloaded. Quite simple to see because the Zing Sound from a collected diamond then appears seconds to minutes later or your powerup effect isn't instantly there. This then is because your command is in a data queue.
