This means that you can use all PowerCore plug-ins within these programs.
PowerCore and Audio Units
PowerCore is compatible with Apple's Audio Units (AU) format.
This means that PowerCore plug-ins will run in all AU compatible host applications such as Logic, GarageBand and a number of film- & post applications.
PowerCore and RTAS (Pro Tools)
PowerCore is compatible with RTAS (Pro Tools) via a so called wrapper.
This means that in order to run PowerCore plug-ins from within ProTools, you'll need to obtain the wrapper. The wrapper is able to translate the VST format into RTAS, and this means that you can use all PowerCore plug-ins within RTAS compatible host applications, such as Pro Tools.
The VST-RTAS wrapper is available from a company called FXPansion.
