iPhone backups are just stored as a proprietary format single file on your hard drive. You really can't do anything with them except use iTunes to restore them to an iPhone.
But that file will be backed up to your Time Machine Airport. So, in the unfortunate case your laptop somehow died at the same time as your iPhone, you'd need to restore your laptop by pressing ⌘R when you reboot your MacBook Pro, restore from your Airport Time Machine, then when completed, attach your iPhone and restore it from iTunes.
