Anyway, I think that Meteor can be cast just like any other spell. The only difference being that in order to use the Black Materia you'll need to be powerfully adept in magic, which defines Sephiroth pretty well.
As for the formation of the Meteor itself, it's probably just like what Saix said:

Meteor is simply a collection of spacial rocks and debris. The spell itself just pulls them all into one small area - thus forming what we see being Meteor.

Or the spell could easily locate the nearest asteroid and pull it towards the Planet.
