No, it's not you.
I can't tell anything either, the doc is both too abstract (aspirational marketing) and too low level (buzzwords) at the same time. I can't tell what the entities are, what they do, and what the actual user experience is.

Pretty cool thing in my opinion, I own 1 planet. I recommend "Understanding Urbit" podcast if you are even remotely interested about their ideas/motivations.
