Basically static files is just an easier way to copy the admin css/js/etc. to the project specific directories rather than serving them directly from the master location?
It is more. I mean, it doesn't just copy the admin css/js, but the css/js from ALL apps.
Every app you have can have a static/ subdirectory and put stuff in it, just like the templates/ directory. And a site that uses the application will automatically get the right js/css without having to grab the correct js/css by hand from five different locations!
What we have, as an example, is a basic "ui" application with basic templates and a couple of javascript libraries (jquery, jquery ui, etc) and basic css. A second app comes with javascript for rendering maps (openlayers + custom js). And we have a bunch of sites that use both these applications, all getting the right js/css out of the box.
