It is lag, jitter and loss cause the game server/host console to not have enough information to correctly put you in the game where you should be.

As the correct info gets through the game puts you in the correct place but then suffers more loss, then it gets the correct infomation again and warps you to your correct position.

Lag is the information needed not getting put through fast enough, it has a million causes.

No not necessarily, on your screen everything seems fine but to the other players in the game you are warping and jumping around. If you're the host console and everyone else is warping then that will also be your connection.
