what are the differences between a page component and other components in CQ

Are there any specific rules about how this page component is processed versus regular component ?

A page component IS a regular component. Theoretically you could use any component as a page component. It is just a naming convention to name the outermost component as page component, as it is responsible for rendering a page, whereas all the components included in the page component will only render part of a page. And the dialog of the component you set as your template's page component will be used as page properties dialog instead of being a standard component dialog in the WYSIWYG part...

When a template is created, it is usually backed up(sling:resourceType of the template points to page component.) by a page component to render the initial view.

To give you an example, if you want to create a template which can accommodate any component, you would write this code to include the parsys component in your page component. So when you create a page of this template, the page will open up with just the parsys component. You can then construct the overall page by dragging and dropping other regular components like header, footer etc onto the parsys created in the page component.
