I'm not reading that as the matter/antimatter didn't annihilate each other after the big bang. Rather, that matter and antimatter were not produced in equal amounts - if they were produced in equal quantities, why do our observations show such a large amount of matter and not equal amounts of antimatter? production and annihilation are balanced processes, so why the heavy sway to one side? Th obvious suggestion is that if there was equal amounts of antimatter near us, we would likely be annihilated already. But that doesn't explain why so little can be found remotely either. The potential for matter and antimatter to alternate is an interesting proposal that could explain our little island of stability in the universe. Or it could be something else entirely.
