This mean that the width of your gauge is correct but the length is off. Now whether this matters or not depends on the item you are making and also the pattern. If you are making something where the pattern specifies (for example) to cast on 60 stitches and knit for 3 inches, you should be okay because you can just match the length you need to knit for. If it is specifying a number of specific rows to be knit it can get more complicated.
That said, in something like a sweater this can matter much more than in something like a purse where an exact size is not necessarily as important. Also, you have to be more careful about how much yarn you need for the project, you may need more or less if your gauge is slightly off.

What does fan stitch mean?
In crochet, a fan stitch is a group of stitches worked into one stitch. In most cases the stitches would be a combination of chains and stitches. For example, you might work double crochets separated by chain stitches or you might work 4 double crochets, a chain, and then another 4 double crochets. It doesn't have to be 4. It can be any number. The stitches should look similar to a paper fan or scallop. If the pattern calls for multiple rows of fan stitches, they are generally placed one on top of the other. Fan stitches can be small or large and incorporate any number of stitches, but the individual stitches are all worked into one stitch from the previous row.
