I just look into the top of my tab I see that I can insert server and local scripts and something called module scripts. What in the HECK are those? Are they important..?

They're not important and exist only to make your life easier. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Module_scripts

I am trying to understand this wiki page >.< why is it printModule("Test Print") instead of printModule.printThis("Test Print")

Because the module script returned a function in that example.

It's very useful for reusing code. And also more efficient in many cases.
