It means, were you to look at the fit from a profile vantage point, the front and back are not balanced. In this case, the back would be longer than the front.

That's part of what it's supposed to be. Why it's nere, and not elsewhere. If that doesn't suit you, ignore it.

You don't need to look from the side to detect a balance problem, and it doesn't necessarily reflect in length.

Maybe. Depends. When someone explains what a short front balance is, I'll tell why.
