A2 means both players reading the same line play the same note(s). If one has, for example, three oboes on the same line the notation would be A3.
In the case of string writing, perhaps you have a violin solo on the first violin line. When you want all the 1st violins to play and not just the solo you write tutti (all).
Musicgeek suggest that A2 or A 3 would mean to divide into two or three parts. That notation is usally "Div. A2" or Div. A3" or just "Div 2". or "Div 3".

RE:
What does "a2" in orchestra scores mean?

it means that both flutes (or whatever that line is) play the notes. It is short for "a due". This would be notated where '1.' indicated that just flute 1 plays the notes to follow, or 2. for flute 2 etc.
The next answerer mentions band and choral. While it may be correct for a2 to refer to all in band, all in choral music is 'tutti'. Even in band, a2 may be a lazy way to refer to all since having both parts of the ensemble play the same music does in fact mean they are all playing it. Still, I would restrict a2 to mean 2 and ONLY 2 parts. If you want to say 'all', use the Italian for all, "tutti".

a2 is in more than just orchestra scores... It's in band and choral scores as well. a2 means everyone in a section plays at this point. Prior to this point, just the firsts or seconds played, or possibly a solo.

I actually think that 'a2' would might mean split between two; in a string part a3 means divide among the players as three parts. 'Tutti' would be what would used to indicate that everyone would play after a solo. I'm not entirely sure about this though; look at the score for words like 'divisi' or '1 desk', that sort of thing. It would be a lot easier to put into into context than for us to just tell you what it might be.
