arch will display the architecture that OS is compiled for. It will not show the hardware's architecture. In a x86_64 machine a 32bit (x86) OS can be installed. In that case arch command will say x86 (or i686 or whatever). I have seen you are explaining about commands but that is not complete unless how that works. Explaining that will let people know more and they will turn into a geek.
