It refers to a home run that immediately ends the game. This can only happen if the home run gives the home team the lead in the ninth inning or in extra innings.
If it is in the top of the ninth, then it does not immediately end the game. The home team gets another at bat

yes i was at a game ware this happendHowever, the player on third who did not go home and touch home plate is out and his run does not count, the batter still must touch all bases and home plate to get credit for the home run.clarification:If this took place with 2 outs, it would not be a walkoff home run as once the runner at 3rd left the field he could be called out for being out of the base path, if the umpire decided not to make this call then he would be out the moment the batter rounded third and "passed him on the bases" -- this would result in a triple for the batter and the inning would end, still tied

'Give up a home run' is a term for a pitcher who has thrown a pitch that a batter has hit for a home run. When a batter hits a home run you might here the announcer say 'That was the 4th home run given up by [pitcher] this season'. That means the pitcher has thrown four pitches that batters have hit for home runs.
The player had 4 hits in 5 at bats during the game and 1 of those hits was a home run.
It means something that you value.
