The heck does "upstream" mean in this context?

for those wanting to play with an ARM Linux laptop using an upstream kernel build

Do they just mean "kernel compiled by someone else than you", ie. how Linux distros generally work?

It means everything you need is in the linux kernel and not something added in a distro.
