I have a questions. What does Z4root do?

I think the device is rooted after the NookDev instructions, right?
After that, we can install apks, replace launcher, and run apps. Why to use Z4root to root again?

BTW, in the last step of the NookDev's instruction, we can use wireless adb to connect to the device. Does this means everyone in the same network can control my device using adb? Can I limit the adb access from only the usb pot, not the wifi?
