Can Cordova, Phonegap etc. be used for building mobile web applications

I want to build a mobile web application (please note that a mobile web application is different than a native app), I have searched but still my confusion is not clear on whether I can use Cordova, Phonegap and similar frameworks to build mobile web application?

Or these frameworks are used for build only native apps but one can use his HTML, CSS, Javascript skills for development, but in the end app will be a native app and has to be downloaded and installed on specific device?

Or is it that apps built using these frameworks can be directly accessed using browser (which is nothing but being a mobile web app) even though app is not installed on device?

If by mobile web application you mean a mobile friendly web application, then cordova has nothing to do with this. If you mean, building a mobile application via a webview using html+css then cordova is what you want. You can also use frameworks such as Ionic to help build a cordova hybrid app.
