I understand that to use these technologies we need to know javascript and HTML 5. But should we know iPhone or Android to work on this?

Not necessarily. They provide this layer of abstraction that makes your life so much easier. Be forewarned though. Since you’re using this additional layer of abstraction, a lot of features you implement could possibly seem sluggish. For example – I tried implementing google maps for android using PhoneGap. Took me 5 lines of code. But it was sluggish to the point where it almost became unusable.
Also, this layer of abstraction does not support every feature both the iphone & android have to offer. You might want to take this into consideration while planning out your app.
