Matterport's camera uses a mixture of structured light, deep learning, and other techniques to build a 3D point cloud from each capture. Then, the app aligns the different captures together to produce a 3D mesh.
It's also possible to use consumer 360 cameras with Matterport's app, though accuracy is lower. In this case, the 3D-from-2D estimation primarily happens using deep learning.
