It doesn't have to necessarily be related to a standby database and dataguard.

If can also just be a missing archived redo log for a normal database.

In a nutshell:
to perform a recovery you need EVERY archived redo log in sequence.  If you are missing one, there is a gap.  You cannot recover a database past the point of the mising archived redo log.
