This is not documented well and the doxygen types shown are not very helpful. In the end it boils down to the following: *_mg_* functions return level or multigrid iterators that have an accessor (that is inside the iterator) with the template argument level_dof_access = true. The only difference, if I remember correctly, is that get_active_or_mg_dof_indices() will return the result of get_mg_dof_indices() instead of get_dof_indices(). So, if you use level iterators, you can use get_active_or_mg_dof_indices() in your assembly and it will automatically do the right thing. This means you can use the same assembler for active and mg levels.
