Do I need to purchase anything else or does that simply mean that if the case caters for the front USB ports they are on the motherboard?

When the case has front panel USB capabilities there are cables included in the case that attach to the specific connector on the motherboard. They are fairly standard but sometimes they require a propriatory connector.
There is also a jumper setting that routes the usb port to the front panel found on page 40 of the manual.This must be set properly in order for the front USB ports to run.
The most important thing to do here is to read the manual.
