As mentioned the document is made to let users know that some flash devices can be used as both booting and data storage for SoC devices.
Because SoC needs to be boot up initially to utilize the HPS features in the SoC, this is why there are documents on the flash devices that are known-to-work for the SoC devices to be used as both booting source and data storage. Since the eMMC are already available for SoC devices, users can choose where they want to boot their SoC devices depend on the user's desired designs, e.g: SD card, QSPI, etc.
Well eMMC is an embedded type of memory that is not user-removable because it is reflow soldered directly to the PCB. So, if your board have eMMC and you want to use it as data storage sure you can.
