The snippet is probably a user function to demonstrate how you can run 
PHP from TypoScript.

$GLOBALS['TSFE'] is the global instance of the class tslib_fe. This 
class is responsible for building the frontend of the website based on 
the TypoScript configuration.

You can find this class in typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/class.tslib_fe.php

$GLOBALS['TSFE']->id is the uid of the current page. In this example 
this is just used for a demonstration, because it's obviously useless to 
multiply a pageid with a number :-)

$conf is the TypoScript configuration of the current object. The TS of 
this example must have a property "factor" where you can set the number 
to multiply the page id with.
