What does % mean when typing in a file path?

An example could be %APP_LOCAL%\default or %APP_BASE%.

In Batch / the command-line variables are signed for later expansion with enclosing them in percentage signs. There are exceptions which are irrelevant for your question though.
The ones asked by you are environment variables that are set by your system and most likely contain paths or parts of a path.
