I'm still working on understanding your chord progression options.
(and am having some difficulty understanding that bit where it says 'Easy'.)

He meant that in the key of G....D is the V(Fifth Chord) G A B C D
By playing I IV V of D you get D E F G A ....D G A is 1 4 5
So by playing A G A7 D he played the three chord trick of D (which always sounds nice) while staying somewhere close to G so he could get back, via the V (or 5th) chord D.
Going from V to I (or 5 to 1) is usually the way in which people spot what key you are in, it has a certain sound that is recognisable. I can't do it, but I have read that it is possible.
