Hi.

Can someone explain or point me to some documentation that explains what Editor Only Static Mesh Component means?

It means that it only will exist within the Unreal editor. A typical use case would be having an invisible wall, where the static mesh component uses an invisible material, while the editor static mesh component uses a visible material, so designers can see where the invisible wall is while working, but the players will not.
