std::cout is an instance of std::ostream. std::cout << "something" calls one of the operator<< overloads as would be done for any instance of std::ostream. It's "special" in that it references the console, but otherwise it behaves exactly as an ofstream or an ostringstream would. You can see some of the actual source here https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/files.html
