How does it work ? Where is index file ?

What do you mean by "index file"? Typekit is basically a Javascript based system which uses various obfuscation methods to protect the copyright of the fonts involved.

Do mean I can use my own font by javascript code in my site without typekit.com ? ( it doesn't need a php code ! ).

There are several ways to embed custom fonts in a webpage. Take a look at http://jonraasch.com/blog/embedding-custom-fonts for example.

Although, your question is not clear - are you just trying to embed fonts, or to obfuscate them as well.

Why do designers use sIFR if they can use @font-face ? what is wrong with @font-face ?

The article linked above states that it's not supported in recent versions of FF and Opera.
