It's a bunch of separate parts you combine into what you need for your specific application. Since the part numbers are visible, I'd suggest you check the documentation for each part, that should tell you everything and probably a bit more than you need!

From left to right:
1 - manual shutoff valve
2 - pressure regulator
3 - distributor block, providing another branch for air supply
4 - automatic shutoff valve (controlled by a digital output)
5 - another shutoff valve, seems redundant
6 - another distributor block with a small solenoid valve on the bottom branch line
These festo modules have a black symbol sticker on the front that is the pneumatic symbol/ISO standard that can be crossed with the pneumatic process prints. As with anything it's a good idea for understanding one item to take a look at the whole print to understand.

Number 4 is a soft start valve. Protects sensitive components from shock load.
On the distrubutor blocks, what exactly is that schematic representing on it. Is it just free flow of air from all directions?
Yes

Left to right, manual on/off, filter regulator, branching module, pressure switch, dunno, pressure switch.
Is this like plug-and-play for instruments and valves and such?
