It was the actual Phoenix Force and at the time she told Juggernaut 'I am called Phoenix now and I have enough power to hold you until the others arrive'.
As for why didn't Onslaught absorb her or try to? Well he wanted her to know that Xavier was not the 'good guy' she thought of him and he didn't come to fight or try to absorb her powers or whatever. He wanted her to know who he was that's why he toyed with her.

It wasn't the PF in no shape or form it was a psychic representation conjured by Onslaught on the Astral plane to persuade Jean to join him Jean didn't regain the PF until NXM by Grant Morrison. It should be noted that Jean Grey can and has manifested the PF RAPTOR w/o actually having the PF because its the expression of her psi-powers.
Any ways Onslaught isn't beating WPOTC, hell he's not beating the DP either.

It is debatable whether it was the actual force or not. But I will say it was some sort of manifestation or the other. Whether you wish to call it the PF Raptor or not,she did manifest a form of it on the astral plane and he crushed it and knocked her from the astral plane.

So your saying Onslaught not only summoned but destroyed the actual PF, honestly its not really debatable before he created the raptor he spoke about Jean being the Phoenix it was merely a bid to get her to join him. It was a psychic manifestation an illusion on the astral plane nothing more nothing less, and no she didn't manifest anything he did it to gain her favor when it didn't work he crushed a PSYCHIC MANIFESTATION.
I brought up Jean manifesting the PF raptor that firebird form because people seems to be confused about a few things one Jean Grey can and has manifested the PF raptor without being connected to the PF because it is the form her psi-powers take when their full realized, Jean Grey has used the name Phoenix and worn the costume w/o having the actual PF, and last but not least Jean Grey didn't gain or exhibit the PF's powers again until NXM though she had sporadically manifested a PF' raptor which again is the expression of her psychic powers. Oh and it should be noted the PF doesn't exist on the Astral Plane it exists in the WHR outside of time and space.

I did not say he 'summoned or destroyed' the actual Phoenix Force. Now it's debatable whether it was the actual Phoenix Force or not. He was taunting her and brought up her past by telling her to 'remember the unbridled cosmic might of the Phoenix Force.' While stating that you could say he brought up a 'psychic manifestation of the Phoenix Force to goad her into joining him.
However that did not work and in her own words she said he 'fumbled the ball by trying to stir up her anger and disappointment.' And she unleashed a 'flamed based attacked' with the Phoenix Raptor positioned behind her.Thus signifying the Phoenix Force was in effect at that specific time.
Onslaught then proceeded to counter her feeble attempt at an attack by crushing the Phoenix Force. Not destroying it,then knocked her from the astral plane.

Even with Full PF at her disposal what is to stop Onslaught from taking her powers as his own?
He has Franklin and Nate powers to boost,and the fight takes place on the astral plane where he was 'born'. Onslaught should be more versed than any version of Jean battling on the astral plane.
And for people commenting that she did not regain the PF until Morrison's run then they need to read Uncanny X-Men 381 when they fought the Neo she had access to the PF.Not some psychic manifestation or Phoenix Echo,but the Phoenix Force.
She even made the raptor appear and demonstrated the powers to Cable. This was in Claremont's run.
