This statement is correct; The Toolsuite Installer that you download from our website places the library files into the appropriate user location in the WPILib directory on your computer, allowing use of these library APIs in your robot program.
"The user's system" refers to your computer, which is where our installer places the library files. It is not the installer but rather the WPILib plug-ins that then takes care of transferring these files from your computer to your roboRIO when you deploy code.
The roboRIO Upgrade tool in LifeBoat is a seperate tool and does not place any API files on the roboRIO. Since CTRE is the author of the CAN plug-in used by the Web-Based Interface, we needed a way for users to be able to update the plug-in file.
There is an example screen shot of the roboRIO Upgrade process in the manual section I referenced - Section 5.3.2.5 of the Pigeon IMU User's Guide.
Here is a link.
