It's a DVI -> VGA adapter (the order of the acronyms is important) and it converts the DVI signal into the analogue VGA signal.
VGA -> DVI adapters are much more expensive, into the hundreds of dollars, because it takes a lot of doing to reconvert an analogue signal into a digital one.
So yes, it allows you to hook up a VGA monitor.
Ah, thank you. I was a little confused, and since I'm getting a Mini soon, I want to know everything about it.

Cool, no problems. When are you getting your mini? Holding off till after MWSF so you can get iLife '07 or are you going to wait till March-ish for Leopard?
