I agree that this is confusing, and the way that poky merges all the
layers together into a single tree doesn't help.  But in fact I think
you were already 90% of the way there.  Once you've figured out that
this is part of meta-openembedded, you just need to consult the README
file in the appropriate subdir, for example:

http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/README

(which, I assume, also shows up in your poky checkout although I haven't
checked this)

Not that I know of, but that sounds like a good idea.  Perhaps it could
be added to the layer index page:

http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/
