My guess is they are using SVG for some sizes, but for very small you do need a different icon, because things tend to hit a point where details are lost, so the design needs to be changed. I don't know how many icons there are in the base GNOME icon set, but if you figure 3 versions of each icon times 6 colors you could quickly end up with a lot of icons.

They have definitely made good progress on this project since the last time I used it 6 months ago.

Scalable SVG's for every single icon are included, in the 48px sizes.However, every single icon has to be drawn in smaller sizes as well - you can't just use a 48px SVG file and expect it to look sharp and clear in 16px.The set follows the same scheme as GNOME/Tango, which ship scalable 48px icons that work up to 256px, and 32/24/22/16px pre-rendered bitmaps for the smaller sizes, assuring that every icon is clear and never looks blurry.
