They initialize the *internal* components of the Android plugin (thus subject to break at any time) which know how to resolve the SDK location for the project. After doing this they add the Maven m2 repository from inside the SDK so that artifacts inside the SDK can be resolved.
This also relies on the fact that the support-annotations artifact is a jar, rather than the normal aar, and thus don't require additional processing in order to add them as dependencies.
