It does exactly what is says... it enables faxdetect based on the 
direction the channel was setup (incoming, outgoing, or "doesn't 
matter"). 'outgoing' is used in some applications to redirect outgoing 
FAXes to a local FAX server, or to do store-and-forward FAX. It's not as 
necessary as it used to be... when the only channel that had 'faxdetect' 
functionality was chan_zap/chan_dahdi, 'outgoing' mode was necessary to 
be able to catch all outgoing FAXes (and redirect the incoming channel 
to a different destination in the dialplan). Now that chan_sip has 
'faxdetect' as well, many usages of 'outgoing' in chan_dahdi are no 
longer necessary.
