Cloud storage refers basically to storing your data online hosted on servers that companies dedicate to this purpose.
For example, in business you could run any number of your actual servers from the cloud and reduce or eliminate the servers you maintain locally. The short term cost is usually far less than shelling out cash for a physical server, but there are security concerns.
In this situation, it seems to mean you would either upload your media files or buy iTunes content and have it available anywhere you had a internet connection with your device, rather than having it all on your PC or external hard drive.
