In awk the == operator compares two numbers or strings, in this case strings.
If they are equal the result is "true", a non-zero. The default action for a non-zero is {print}.
You can write this more explicit
Code:
awk '$1=="pc" { print }'

or
Code:
awk '{ if ($1=="pc") { print } }'

or even
Code:
awk '{ if ($1=="pc") { print $0 } }'
