As I understand it, all telescopes, not just HST, use detectors that have different filters that allow light from some wavelength ranges and block/reduce light from others. The flux (i.e., the amount of light that hits the detector) from each filter is captured by a CCD and measured. This gives the relative amount of light coming from each wavelength range.

I admit I may be off because I'm not sure if this was universal, but from some pretty detailed reading I was doing about the Soviet planetary exploration program I clearly remember that the filters they used were RGB, both for film and digital imaging. I am pretty sure they are the filters used in telescopy etc. and I'm sure that almost all digital cameras return an RGB image.
McTaggart:
A filter that allows one range of wavelengths and blocks the others is exactly what a red, green or blue filter does. I'm not really sure about optical astronomy (I only really studied/did radio astronomy) but there's nothing stopping you from both being right.
