What does this feature mean?

By implication, it sounds like I can take any bootable CD (regardless of OS) and extract only that part of the image that provides the ability to boot without any other part of the CD or it's data. Is that true?

Directly from the man page of "geteltorito": geteltorito is a Perl script which extracts the initial/default El Torito boot image from a CD if one exists. It will not extract any of other boot images that are allowed by the El Torito standard.
