Actually, this isn't centered. But the implication is that it is.  
\Since \hcenter aligns the center of an object with the left edge of  
another, the example in the documentation doesn't do a very good job  
of showing the text "centered" having its center on the left edge of  
the ↓, because the ↓ is so narrow. If anything, the example should  
be
\markup {
  \column {
    ↓
    centered
  }
}

That way it's clear that the center of the arrow is aligned with the  
left edge of the text. Although, that example is possibly more  
confusing than the current one.

I still think that for showing the various alignment options, columns  
and rows of "one" "two" and "three" are better.
