True means it is inverted. Basically, you have to do this because motors face the opposite direction on different sides of the robot. The same concept can be achieved by setting all motor inversions to False and swapping the leads of the motor around at the motor controllers on one side of the robot. (Note: Do NOT swap the power leads leading from the Power Distribution board. If you decide to go this route, only swap the leads on the motor side of the speed controller.)

If you are going the code route, two of them should be inverted. Just make sure they are both from the same side (either right or left), not front and back inverted from each other.
