According to your theory it should dissipate 110W and should melt, but it does not. It dissipate much low power since it uses switching topology.

Incorrect.
The output is 5VDC@1A not the input. The input is closer to 115VAC@0.05A or ~6Watts (assuming 1W inefficiency which is actually high).
In a phone charger (or most other chargers/USB power supply sources) you have a AC to DC converter (most likely a bridge rectifier). Then you have a buck converter (probably a transformer) and a switcher boost (High speed MosFET, inductor, and shottkey diode).
