This post explains the checkbox very well:

It simply saves the Hierarchy "filters". When you run a report you have the option of filtering data by clicking on levels of the hierarchy. For example, if you hierarchy is "CEO > AMER > US > States", clicking on "US" will only show US records based on the hierarchy.
 
That checkbox will save the hiearchy filter of the report so that the next time you run it you see the same data set. For example if it was US, the next time you would run the report it would show you US data. 
 
You will still have the option of changing the hiearchy when running the report but it will always default to what was there when you saved the report if you selected that option. 
 
Obviously, standard permissions to records still apply. For example, if a user can only see california deals, this is what they would see even if the report is saved with the US level.
