Is it possible? or would I need a Mac at some stage?

Even if you don't own a Mac, you can work on iOS development on Ubuntu by using third-party tools (like a sandbox or a virtual machine).
Cordova iOS is an iOS application library that allows for Cordova-based projects to be built for the iOS Platform. Cordova based applications are, at the core, applications written with web technology: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Apache Cordova is a project of The Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
Cordova build command converts our app code to an xcode project. Using Xcode we create an . ipa file which is the actual app to be installed.
You will need a Mac to submit your app to AppStore if you want it to appear there, but of course, you can always sell it on Cydia.

According to the FAQ for Phonegap Build you should be able to upload your project to the build service and get an app-store ready app for iOS.
It's still in beta and I haven't tried it myself. To debug on Ubuntu I guess you could run it as a android project and hope there isn't to much difference between the platforms...
I'm not sure if you would need an actual Mac to submit the app to app-store.
