what he means is that, for a beginner, putting mat onthe outside can be tricky to do if you want to end up with a semi smooth surface after your layup is complete, so that as little filler is used as possible...
The tick is to stetch the fleece, t-shit, or grill cloth (whatever you en up using), then apply a few coats of resin to the outside so that you hve a hard surface to apply you mat to the inside, so once you have put on 3-4 layers, or how everr many you are going to apply, you are left with a smooth surface on the outside which requires minimal sanding and filler to get a good finish on...
resin and fleece is not vey strong on it's own, it's only used to get the desired share before layup is started.
