We know for sure that they pay the IP owner to get third party game on the platform. Eurogamer did a coverage on it where avalanche said they were not getting money for Just Cause 2 on PS+ (because they don't hold the rights to the game) but appreciated the coverage while a indie dev confirm that he was getting paid to have his game on PS+.

Either way it is extremely doubtful that even half of the yearly subscription for PS+ can be converted to profit. The service would have a fair bit of overhead.

I'm really interested in how ps+ works. I wonder if sony is ever going to explain it

Extremely unlikely, they more than likely make deals with indvidual IP holder to get the game onboard for a certain fee, and airing that out is like an employee showing all workers the wage of every employee under him.
