In that snippet findLayout is returning the memory address of a layout with certain objectName (this is on the cpp side, maya is a qt application so all widgets have an objectName). Wrapinstance basically cast/wrap whatever is in that memory address into the python class you pass in (they have to match!), returning an instance that you can modify using the api as usual (we are at the python side now).
