Basically; it's using the "Actually Portable Executable" system to make a single binary that includes everything it needs including enough portability stuff to run on different systems directly.

When I say "everything it needs", that includes files; APE binaries, AIUI, include some code to transparently read files embedded in themselves, so that line says "run this vim binary, but when it starts instead of reading the user's normal .vimrc (if any), read the vimrc that we embedded in this binary under the virtual /zip path"
