the block is the neutral zone, which is literally the 8"x12" block on the floor. it's the only marking on the entire floor that isn't 2" wide, so it's not hard to find. the point of this block is to separate the bottom 2 players from the other players during a free throw, so as to give them a slight advantage in getting the rebound, since the 2 players closest to the basket are always the opposing team (why the opposing team usually gets the rebound during a free throw). now, what you're talking about is when they say "he's on the block" or something like that; they are essentially talking about anywhere around that block, essentially anywhere close to the basket, but not directly in front of it.
