That refers to the test phase only.
All home-builts (Experimental placard) will be limited for the first 25+ hours (or nearly double that if your engine/prop aren't cert'd units) for the initial test phase. After completion of the build, you basically become the "chief test pilot" and need to demonstrate that it is airworthy (or you can find/pay someone to do it for you). During the first phase, that means no pax, VFR only, and no populated/congested areas, etc. After that process is successfully completed, you are cleared for normal (part 91) ops.
