Going by that image, the yellow "Live work area" looks like a safe zone for text and images. It looks like a double page spread and they are saying that you should avoid setting text and important images outside of that area otherwise you risk them being obscured on the inner margins (possibly by the curl of the pages as they disappear into the spine) or trimmed on the outer edges if the registration is off.

A quick not on slugs, bleeds and margins.

Margins are areas within the document, bleed is the allowance outside of the trim edge to allow for any registration issues (movement) when the final print job is cut, and slugs are the areas where any production notes are applied (usually outside the bleed area). So in answer to your question, the yellow area should be margins.

To set up these pages it should be simple from the first New > Document... dialogue box if you follow the example below. Note the check box for facing pages and the inside and outside margin measurements.



Hope this helps.
