You plug your guitar into the unit via the input jack, then plug the unit into your amp or recording interface (computer, mixer, etc.) via the output jack. The effects ('verb, chorus, etc.) will affect the sound of your guitar as it is played. If you use the drum machine, the pre-programmed beat will play from the unit through your amp/recording interface. It will be audible so you can play along with / record over it.
I've never seen a Line6 POD tailored for acoustic guitar - not sure if they even make such a thing. For an acoustic guitar I'd be more inclined to buy a dedicated acoustic amp with built-in effects, such as the Roland AC60. As far as effects go on acoustics, you pretty much only use chorus and reverb, or maybe a little phaser and/or delay - and you don't often have the need to turn them on/off in the middle of a song like you do on an electric guitar. All the OD/distortions, flangers, vibes, wahs, amp/cab models, etc. in something like a POD would be way over the top for an acoustic.
