Vachan,
Yes, this is all a bit terse. There is some documentation further up on that 
page where the entire class is documented:
https://www.dealii.org/current/doxygen/deal.II/classMeshWorker_1_1LocalResults.html
In short, '0' indicates that this is the zero-th matrix this object stores; it 
probably only stores a single matrix for your purpose, and consequently 0 is 
the only valid argument. For the second argument, a 'false' value indicates 
that this is a matrix that results from integration on one cell, whereas 
'true' means that it results from the integration on a face between cells, and 
consequently involves the variables from two adjacent cells.

I've taken the opportunity to update the documentation a little bit. You can 
see my changes here:
   https://github.com/dealii/dealii/pull/8745/files

I hope this helps!
Best
  W.
