Okay, so you should start with understanding how checkout works:

  1. When you add any product to cart you will create a quote object.
  2. This object contains quote items, which have a is_virtual property.
  3. When you switch to checkout, quote is loaded to a JavaScript model object. This model is used throughout checkout.
  4. The JS quote model has a method called isVirtual() which returns true if all quote items are virtual.
  5. First step of checkout has a Knockout.js visible property which depends on the isVirtual() method. When quote is virtual, then the first step is hidden.

That's it in a nutshell. :)
