Hi Jose,
No, L*a*b* is not the ACR internal working space. (*)
ACR's primary internal representation uses the ProPhoto/RIMM/ROMM RGB primaries. Exposure and brightness are based on the traditional logarithmic base 2 formulation (i.e., in stops). So boosting Exposure to +1, for example, means doubling the linear scene-referred values (i.e., increasing exposure by 1 stop). The white balance math (color temperature and tint) simply associates user-chosen white points (e.g., tungsten) to corresponding camera whites, by means of a profile's color matrix or matrices. More details (for developers) can be found in public DNG SDK on the Adobe site.
Cheers,
Eric
(*) ACR does use L*a*b* for some internal color difference estimates, e.g., for auto-calculated masks.
