Depreciation is not a cause of reduction of cash from business, so in indirect method depreciation is added back to net income to arrive at actual cash flow from net income and non cash items are either added or deducted for this purpose.

It's relevant in the sense that it needs to be adjusted out to provide the cash only operating profit. That is done in the initial reconciliation. But as depreciation is a non cash expense it will not be included in the cash flow statement.

Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of an asset over a period of time. For example, a car is an asset to the person who owns it. Assuming you buy a Mercedes today for $100,000 then it is an asset worth $100,000 in your cash flow statement. But after a year, the car would not be worth the same amount. It would have depreciated in value because you have been using it for a year and also newer models are out in the market. So maybe, today it is worth $75,000/- then your cash flow statement would have reduced by $25,000/- because of the reduction in value of your merc. This is how depreciation affects your cash flow statement.
