Usually not. I have not had the pleasure of this particular variety but in my experience it's just plain old pasta and cheese and herbs.

    What sort of cheese is that supposed to be?

    It tastes similar to Kraft macaroni and cheese (known in Canada and potentially other countries as "Kraft Dinner"). So I would guess young, unaged cheddar or Colby cheese. There is also probably a good amount of whey powder, which is a by-product of cheese production.

    It's not fake, just highly processed.

    Different cheeses depending on the end goal. If you dehydrate cheese it can be ground into a powder. I've seen cooks on various shows do this to recreate powders for popcorn seasoning, home made Doritos, Cheetos, or even for long term prepping/storage. Makes it easy to create sauces in a pinch as well.
