All of these 1602, 2002, 2004 LCD modules use the same HD44780 controller chip.
Download the documentation for it: https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/HD44780.pdf

Here's a schematic showing how the PCF8574 connects to the LCD:

Basically, via the I2C bus and the I2C expander, you are bit-banging commands & data into the display's
parallel interface, using its 4-bit bus interface (4 of the bus pins aren't used).
