It means, quite naturally, that no code-conversion should take place.
That is, the original text or string are left unaltered.
Try it:
M-: (encode-coding-string "SOME STRING" nil)
=> "SOME STRING"
(include non-ASCII characters in the string to convince yourself they
are not encoded).
I agree that this should be in the docs somewhere, e.g. in the docs of
the en/decoding primitives such as encode-coding-region and
decode-coding-string. So a documentation bug report is probably in
order.
