I am trying to apply SSL to a staging server.

At the moment, we already have an ssl installed by an "unknown" guy in the production server.

While going through prd server's apache settings, I found this in 

<VirtualHost *:80> section

RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1 [NC,R,L]

It seems like redirection rule to HTTPS but I want to understand what this means fully. What does this mean exactly?

It means that whatever comes to http://WHATEVERDOMAIN/WHATEVERPATH will be redirected to https://WHATEVERDOMAIN/WHATEVERPATH.
