First, this thread should be moved to discussion side of the forum. Just to answer your question, it basically allows you to travel outside the US after your DACA is approved. You must meet the criteria stated on the website:
- Educational purposes, such as semester abroad programs or academic research;
- Employment purposes, such as overseas assignments, interviews, conferences, training, or meetings with clients; or
- Humanitarian purposes, such as travel to obtain medical treatment, attend funeral services for a family member, or visit an ailing relative.

the I-131 is not just for DACA applicants. read page 8 of the instructions section (c) number (5). that covers DACA applicants.

Here's more info on this topic:

Travel Requirements and Restrictions
Certain travel outside the United States may affect the continuous residence guideline. Traveling outside the U.S. before August 15, 2012, will not interrupt your continuous residence if the travel was brief, casual, and innocent. If you travel outside the United States after August 15, 2012, and before your request for deferred action is adjudicated, you will not be considered for deferred action under this process.

The following chart explains whether your travel will affect your continous residence.

Travel Dates Type of Travel Does it Affect Continuous Residence
On or after June 15, 2007, but before Aug. 15, 2012
brief
casual
innocent
No
For an extended time
Because of an order of exclusion, deportation, or removal
To participate in criminal activity
Yes
After Aug. 15, 2012, and before you have requested deferred action
Any
Yes.

After Aug. 15, 2012, and after you have requested deferred action
Any
Yes. You cannot travel while your request is under review. You cannot apply for advance parole unless and until DHS has determined whether to defer action in your case.

In addition, if you have previously been ordered deported and removed and you depart the United States without taking additional steps to address your removal proceedings, your departure will likely result in your being considered deported or removed, with potentially serious future immigration consequences.

Once USCIS has approved your request for consideration of deferred action, you may file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, to request advance parole to travel outside of the United States. If you travel outside the United States without first receiving advance parole, USCIS will automatically terminate your deferred action.

USCIS will only grant advance parole if your travel abroad will be for:

Educational purposes, such as semester abroad programs or academic research;
Employment purposes, such as overseas assignments, interviews, conferences, training, or meetings with clients; or
Humanitarian purposes, such as travel to obtain medical treatment, attend funeral services for a family member, or visit an ailing relative.
Travel for vacation is not a valid purpose.
