This means that you can sign into your account on as many PS4s as you like to use your content, but only one can be used at a time as your account can't be connected online on more than one console simultaneously.
Once that PS4 is set as Primary for your account, you can play purchased content while offline, and also access that content on any other PSN accounts on that console.
