You'd have to check whether the p value was found to be <0.05 (or whatever they set their level of significance to) If it is lower then what has been set, then it can be said that it is statistically significant i.e that the probability of the results occurring only due to chance is < 5% (or whatever it's set to).

I think that's worded right. If not, feel free to correct me.

No worries :)
Yeah, I got a little confused when I was doing it as well.
