Yes, the web browser handles the decompression. The key is that the browser tells the server whether or not it can accept gzip-encoded data as part of the headers sent with a request, and apache will only gzip data for browsers that say they can accept it. PHP also has gzip capability, and I would assume that other server-side languages do too.
