The bonjour service is just a discovery service, it's not a file sharing system. By default, iOS devices can't access file shares. You need an intermediary service in between the two. I think that's one of the biggest selling points of this "cloud" server. Right now, the easiest way to transfer files from your pc and your iOS device, without a direct connection, is to use something like Dropbox. If this NAS has it built into it, it's a huge convenience.
