Garage = the repository that holds the code and assets needed to compile and run your program properly. Does version control and much more.
Extras = The place where your completed package for Maemo sits, waiting for end users to download it.
Extras-devel = Same as extras but for untested, unfinished packages.
Extras-testing = Same as extras-devel except the package is ready for testing but still not for end users.

So the applications on the downloads page is fully tested and ready for end users I presume? Also, what are the links for each of those sites?

Probably everything you need to know about Extras, Extras-testing and Extras-devel: http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras
About Garage, it is true that is not well documented at least to find out what it does and how it relates to the rest of maemo.org. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Using_garage.maemo.org - I have added this task back to the proposals for maemo.org sprints.
