Do people mean 'cram' as in cramming all your studying and stuff to the last minute?

Yep.  For some, it could be the night before or for some it might be in the morning or even on the way to the exam venue.  We all need to decide upon what works best.  :)

And people find cramming effective? I thought VCE students that did well had the habit of spreading their workload during the year to cut stress and optimize performance. Is my perception wrong?

For VCE yes, but in uni you'll find that you have to cover a lot more content in a limited time (12 weeks/semester).  For example, Calculus 1 is a subject offered at Melbourne Uni that pretty much covers Specialist Maths (except mechanics) in 12 weeks.  As you'd imagine, the pace would be pretty fast.

Well if you didn't cram you wouldn't finish learning the course...

Yeah the thing you find is that the pace is so fast that you end up spending so much time on assessments and the ilk and then the end of semester looms and you're like shit shit better start studying.

You feel so shit that you want to study but then you realise you've got: favourite TV shows, friends, work, etc so you don't end up studying until SWOTVAC and then you're like, "Shit, shit, shit."  Right?

Yep. I was going to mention this, but some things ought to be kept secret right?

I mean the Shit moment for some of my friends didn't happen until the exam period actually started

In VCE, it was just about VCE and a "ranking to get you into your desired course."  With uni, you have a lot more going on.  You'll find that many uni students have part time jobs and also need time to socialise so those students aren't really getting "lazy" per se, there's just a lot more going on.  Uni isn't all about hitting the books; you also need to have fun!  :)
