It's a layout image, he imported it into Radiant because it help in getting the dimensions right. It's not obligatory that you have this while you're mapping but it does help, especially if you're making a map based on a floorplan you created earlier.

The idea is to make a project layout.

Create an image of the thing you are going to build from a top down view.
So for example, a building floor plan. (making it 1024*1024 is just for radiant resolution).

- Now use Asset Manager to make it a texture for Radiant.
(Find a Custom Texture tutorial)

- Now open radiant and create a brush. The brush size must be to scale (1 unit = 1 inch).

Apply the texture and CTRL+F to make it fit.
