He means it will work. Backwards compatible in this situation means that a pci-e 2.0 card will work in a pci-e 1.0 slot.

No, nothing will change in performance because 2.0 has a higher bandwidth than what the card is able to push out (even then, it's not near the bandwidth of previous PCI iterations).
