That's basically what it's saying.
'Could God make a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it?'
'If he wanted to.'
He could make a very heavy rock. (One so heavy that no one on Earth could ever lift it.) But if he wanted to, he could lift it. If he wanted to make it too heavy for himself to lift, he could do that too. He's God, he can do whatever wants, including bending the rules a bit.
It kind of boils down to this....
Q: Could God make a rock so heavy that he couldn't lift it?
A: Yes.
Q: Could God lift that same rock a millisecond later if he wanted to?
A: Yes.
Being omnipotent, he could do whatever he wanted to do with the rock.
