HDMI can support both analog signals and digital ones. What this does, I reckon, is convert the HDMI-a signal (analog) to VGA (also analog). I'm pretty sure the Raspberry Pi only supports outputting HDMI-d (digital) via the HDMI port. I could be wrong, especially since the RPi has an analog output anyway (the yellow RCA).
