What does AEGP_GetLayerToWorldXform actually represent?

What is the point of AEGP_GetLayerToWorldXform matrix? What does it give me? It's a really confusing name, does it transform the layer-space coordinates to composition-space? What does "World" mean? Is it supposed to be used to make an effect work in composition space instead of layer space?

yes, it translaes xy corrdinates from the layer origin to xyz in comp space. you can either use that for that simple conversion, or use the gotten matrix to construct a full "render view" matrix from the camera's pov.
