Does "images that showed features as small as 31cm" means 1 pixel = average color of 31x31cm or is it more complicated?

  That is roughly correct. There is typically a bayer-mask filter on a grayscale sensor, so any given pixel is actually only either blue, red or green, but then a mixing algorithm is applied and you get the full resolution with the appropriate mixing. Of course, there are a variety of filters and a variety of algorithms, so the exact mix will vary across different technologies, but roughly speaking, yes.
