It's an alternate way to use rsync.  Rsync on one machine acts like a
server, running on its own network port, and the rsync client connects
to it.  It's useful for situations where you don't have a network
filesystem between the two machines.

If what you have is working for you, there's probably no reason to set
up a server.
