It means that the flags package is part of go and it is always available. Since parsing cli arguments is extremely common, it is a no brainer for it to be included as part of the language. The rust equivalent is std::env::args.

std::env::args is the Rust equivalent of the C argc and argv parameters, nothing more. The Rust CLI parsing functionality most commonly used is the clap crate which is not part of the standard library because there is no good reason to put something in the standard library when it doesn't have close ties to the language version.
