Answers:
Yes, it means your lappy is a bluetooth enabled device.

I was told by my brother in law that the blue tooth devices are slowly being phased out and it will be used for things like bluetooth mouse, headsets, etc and not for data transfer as it isn't secure in any way.

In fact it is safer to have the device turned off and only use it when you need to.

The only advantage I can see it like the way I use it, my phone has a nice 2megapixel camera and Bluetooth saves me from having to use a cable connection or carry a cable, I just carry a dongle and flash device with the USB installer for the bluetooth software because... it isn't readily supported on PC's and requires software.
It does mean that your laptop is bluetooth enabled and will connect with your phone for data transfer. However, bluetooth is not secure and your link could be used by any other bluetooth user (do a bluetooth scan in a public building and see how many users there are). They could steal personal information from your laptop or even hack and virus it.

Only switch it on when you really need it for the sake of security.

YES!
Since you've got the Bluetooth logo it means your laptop is bluetooth enabled which means you can transfer files from your phone on to the laptop and so on. Enjoy!

It means it is blutooth compatible and it's built in so you can transfer files from one bluetooth device to another one.
