What does the limitation regarding using Salesforce CLI with TypeScript for LWC development mean in practice? Does this mean the source cannot be deployed to org?

The guide is here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/lwc/guide/ts.html

TypeScript Limitations

For now, LWC support for TypeScript excludes these use cases.

Using TypeScript with the Salesforce CLI
Source map debugging using TypeScript
Non-Salesforce types
Type definitions for custom Salesforce fields and objects

Does this mean the source cannot be deployed to org?

That's correct. You currently can only deploy JavaScript to your org, so you must compile any TypeScript code before deploying.
