basically, you have your geomettry (model) and all a shader is, is something which gives your model a colour, or a texture if you will eg. you model a box, you apply a brick type shader (which is just a simple image file) and it looks like a brick wall
but using a simple image file wouldnt be enough as that would just give your wall a colour, you would need to create a bump map, which makes the bricks on the wall stand out, and the cement stick inwards
all of this put together, everything thats added to the model to give it a texture, is called a shader
hope i havent confused you, its half 2 in the morning
sorry

theyre pretty easy as well, just open up hypershade, go to file>import then select the .ma/.mb shader file you have
it should appear in the top part of your hypershade window (this is for downloaded shaders)
the ones you're talking about (comes with maya) to use them in the bottom part of your hypershade window there are 2 tabs, one called "Work area" and another called "shader library" click on the second tab and all ur shaders are in there
then do what darkware said, middle click drag into the top, then assign it to a model
