Chromecast doesn't stream from the device to the TV. It just receives a request from the device, then pulls the stream directly from the web. As far as I understand it, it's useless for games. Streaming with AirPlay, on the other hand, is a totally different story, especially with controller support in iOS7. It fully supports the scenarios you're talking about.

It can also stream a Chrome tab in a browser.
