It means you may be recorded and/or quoted, usually for the purpose of disclosure to (usually) media and (less often) legal depositions.
When you speak to reporters, it is very important to clarify what the reporter has permission to disclose verbatim and what they have to be careful with. While it is a legal protection clause, it is usually used as a courtesy as often information is disclosed with the implicit (as opposed to explicit) courtesy that the information will go without attribution.
Saying it in a legal deposition is generally just as a point of highlighting the comment since everything is "on the record" in a deposition (unless stricken for the record).
However, it sounds really neat and Hollywood loves to abuse the cliche.

Means you can document that this is what was said, permanently. Final word.

It means they want you to remember what was said & who said it.
