To put it shortly, gnome-terminal.wrapper is a perl script that sets up the arguments for gnome-terminal and then runs exec call that spawns gnome-terminal with those arguments.

Wrapper scripts are very frequently used to set up environment for different applications and other scripts.

Loosely related to this question are What is a terminal wrapper? and Ctrl-Alt-t opens root terminal instead of normal terminal
