What you found is just the command line being used to run a custom
script someone wrote - I assume this was available from one of the
now-defunct links in the message you linked to.

In short: what you have found and posted is not a complete script, not
by far.

In principle, the actual script was likely similar to the examples in
https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ - with different parameters,
though, as it only really needs to open a file and export it with a
different file name.
