Andreas,
No, the documentation is accurate. The purpose of this <Directory>
block, as included in the stock config files and most packages prepared
by linux distribution maintainers, is to ensure that the root of your
filesystem, /, is not accessible from malicious scripts trying to
exploit your web server.
It should not be altered, or removed.
What you need to do is 'allow' access to the directory where your
content is, with something like:
<Directory /path/to/my/docroot/>
Allow from all
AllowOverride <your list here>
</Directory>

Which is the default value of AllowOverride?
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride
claims that the default is
AllowOverride All
However, /etc/apache2/sites-available/default contains
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Does this mean that the default is "none"?
