The question is, how AdWords lists these ads? The answer is, the prodcuts are being fetched from the Advertiser's AdWords account which is again linked to their Merchant center account. And, in the merchant center account, a feed was uploaded which includes all the products in a predefined format. The feed includes fields such as Title, description, Price, Availibility status and many more fields.
