Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.

Pages it runs its code on
It runs its own code on every page you open: the manifest declares a content script for all sites.
<all_urls>every site
A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.
What it may ask for later
Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse. It may later ask for access to every site.
