Yeah, its about the motion of our Local Group, but yes. Here's the summary provided in the xml:

>The presence of a large underdensity, the dipole repeller, is predicted based on a study of the velocity field of our Local Group of galaxies. The combined effects of this super-void and the Shapley concentration control the local cosmic flow.

Yes, Local Group motion :)

The Dipole repeller and Shapley attractor are ~30000 km/s apart, which is ~1.5 billion light-years.[0]
