You're right, it means nothing... gone are the days when you had to explicitly set a hard drive's properties in the BIOS (whether you did it manually, or let it automatically detect once after it was installed). These days it pretty much just auto-detects everything at startup. Makes it easier for consumers to change their hard drive, whether that's a good or bad thing!
The important thing, as Steve mentioned, is that the hard drive is one one channel and the CD-RW on the other. Whether a device is master or slave, when it is the only device on a channel, makes no difference.
