OBD-II is your onboard diagnostic tool. It is usually located right under the dash on drivers side. Your Mechanic would plug in a scanner tool (you can purchase these-PepBoys) if there are any issues with your car like your check engine light..etc etc..it will give him the "code" this is very helpful in narrowing down the problem. OBD-II were manditory on all Cars made 1996 or later.

Where can you find the plug for the OBDII reader if it is not behind the change compartment on your 1995 Toyota Camry?

According to a thread on ToyotaNation.com there's an OBDII port 'behind' the coin cubby 'IF' your '95 is OBDII compliant. It appears some vehicles produced early that year are still OBDI while later year '95s are OBDII. The thread says there's mention on the engine sticker under the hood that says "OBDII Compliant" if your vehicle is. If your '95 is OBDI you can still do a diagnostic but it's the old 'count the blinks' method. You'll probably need a service manual to decode it. Cheers
