It sets storage for new fields to locked/unlocked to the current content type (unlocked means field can be shared between different content types)

does that mean that, if I put a value in a content from another form, I can use that same value in a different content type?

Notthe value, the field... the same field can be used in another content type form...
In db, the value is stored in the table shared by content types OR stored in the table specific to the content type.
NOTE: The shared content types have to be of the same object i.e Article, User, Category...
