Dock is a place where you could place "things". More info.

From Openbox guide:

Unlike Fluxbox, Blackbox or Icewm, Openbox does not come with a panel. If you do want to use a panel, you’ll have to add one yourself, but, since you have a wide selection of panels to choose from, this allows you to have everything just the way you want it.

I think he might not be referring what a dock actually is, I think it's more like why is the dock option there when openbox doesn't load up anything really, not even the bg and youhave to install more dependencies to set up a bg, a dock or a menu bar.
