It's just showing in which datacenter the Durable Object will end up in, if the user hits the one you've selected. colo = colocation, renting space in an existing DC, which roughly equals datacenter yea.
The dotted lines go to the place where the DO would be created.

For example if you're in PHL and create a Durable Object, you could end up either in Newark or Ashburn

It shows the percentage as well

The green dots with orange outlines are colos which host DOs

Iiamnotapipe how does this app know all this??

iirc he just uses Cloudflare LB Health Checks which run in every CF Colo, to spawn a worker & a do to check

Iiamnotapipe if my user is in an area like us but i am anticipating needing their DO in europ...

yea you can hint it over:
let durableObjectStub = OBJECT_NAMESPACE.get(id, { locationHint: 'eeur' });
https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/reference/data-location/
That's only on creation though, and

Hints are a best effort and not a guarantee. Unlike with jurisdictions, Durable Objects will not necessarily be instantiated in the hinted location, but instead instantiated in a data center selected to minimize latency from the hinted location.

You can restrict a Durable Object to a jurisdiction, or provide a location hint.
