If you were the only person they approached about backfilling for your boss and they are willing to give you acting pay or alternative compensation, that's generally a good sign of what they think your potential is.
If they're trying to share your bosses workload across multiple people and there is no exclusivity or clear bonus, it's probably just management being cheap while they wait for your boss to return.
Also consider how badly you need this job, whether or not you want to progress to more senior roles, and how much you like and trust your bosses boss (and vice-versa)
