Xbox 360's controller users a proprietary RF frequency, not standard bluetooth like it's PS3 and Wii counterparts. If it's just server side rendering, then the input device would still be controlled by the phone and I don't know of any current software for the Samsung Omnia that would allow an Xbox 360 controller to be used as an input device. Pains me to say it, but I call it faked. Even if this is possible on an Omnia’s browser engine, how are they connecting the Xbox controller?
