"using our last arg as list of args" is the key phrase in the quoted documentation. It means you can say things like (apply #'FUNC ARGS) where ARGS is an arbitrary list which has likely been supplied or generated by other code.

(apply #'+ 1 2 '(3 4)) is the same as (funcall #'+ 1 2 3 4). In other words, (funcall FN X Y Z) is the same as (apply FN (list X Y Z)).
