It was a misnomer … LR supports adjusting the overall exposure in the range of +/- 5 EV total.
That means that if you have a 'ISO-less' sensor, in other words, a sensor where the ISO settings on the camera are implemented by just biasing the captured data by an EV offset. For example, if the native ISO of the sensor is 200, you can achieve up to an effective ISO 6400 with it using Lightroom. I tested this with the Leica M9 and it worked perfectly; useful on that camera because the on-camera ISO setting is limited to ISO 2500. However, it means that you can't really see what you're doing, exposure-wise, with the review function on the camera, and I didn't find anything particularly better about the quality of the output images—they looked identical to using the ISO setting on the camera.
