TOC level means exactly that. Calibre allows you to create up to 3 levels, at least in ePUB. I'm not sure about the other formats.

For example, if you have an Omnibus, say the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Your Level 1 TOC would be:
  • Fellowship of the Ring
  • Two Towers
  • Return of the King

Chapters within those books would make up your Level 2 TOC.
  • Fellowship of the Ring
    • Chapter 1
    • Chapter 2
    • Chapter 3
    • ...
  • Two Towers
    • Chapter 1
    • Chapter 2
    • Chapter 3
    • ...
  • Return of the King
    • Chapter 1
    • Chapter 2
    • Chapter 3
    • ...

Of course, that's only personal preference. If you want to create a flat TOC (all level 1), then that's up to you.

Addendum:
This is a pretty good resource on Calibre's conversion system. If Kovid hadn't given me the link in another thread, I wouldn't have known about it, too.

Use that one while the official conversional manual hasn't been finished yet.
