The ln -s command will create a symbolic link to django-admin.py in the directory specified by the path /usr/local/bin
Thus after running the command you should now have a django-admin.py located in /usr/local/bin which "points" to the actual django-admin.py, thus making django-admin.py available from wherever - assuming /usr/local/bin is in your PATH...
Hope that helps explain it,
