It's a URL. If your GWT app is located at http://www.foo.com/myapp and you set the service entry point to GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "myservice" then you'll end up sending an HTTP request to http://www.foo.com/myapp/myservice, and it will be received by the servlet mapped to that URL.
I haven't seen the example in question so I couldn't speak to why it doesn't make sense. If you want to post the relevant bits, I'd be happy to puzzle over it with you. It may, of course, just be a typo.
