"Loaded" is a field that indicates whether the unit definition was properly loaded from the unit file. Here, it's shown as "not-found", which is the value indicating that no unit file by the name "iotwatch.target" could be found. Then, in brackets you get some additional information: here "Reason:" is the field that indicates the reason why the unit file wasn't found, and this usually gives you a UNIX error code, i.e. the text string associated with an "errno" code. "No such file or directory" is the string for ENOENT, i.e. it's the simplest of cases here: there really just was no file found by the name you requested. Typically, when you see "not-found" as "Loaded" value, you'll also see "No such file or directory" as "Reason" value, but there are some other cases, since units are not always synthesized from unit files on disk, but from other concepts too.
