First of all, the first thing I don't understand is "Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories." What style directories? I have no directory called "styles."
You do indeed have style directories if you have any custom styles. We also sometimes refer to them as "skins" or "themes". Styles have their own directories, which is usually the same name as the style. Like my forum uses two white/blue styles called Centura and Centura_X. So all the images for those are stored in a folder called centura. If you don't use any custom styles and you use the default theme that came with vBulletin, then you would add the images to your images folder. But if you use the default AND any custom themes, you need to add the images to each directory for a particular style, in addition to the images folder.

Secondly, "Import the MGC Chatbox Evo product". What's that mean? Where do you go? How do you do that?
It's in the folder called Product. It's called product-mgc_cb_evo.xml. You import that through your Admin CP >>> Plugins & Products >>> Manage Products >>> [Add/Import Product] >>> EITHER upload the XML file from your computer. Look for the XML file and import it, but only after you've uploaded all the appropriate files.

I think if the directions were a little less ambiguous, it'd be a lot easier to download and install...
It's not that they're ambiguous, but they're pretty standard for any mod installation. If your not familiar with mod installations, or you've never done one that wasn't a simple template modification, then I can understand why you'd be confused. But you'll find that almost all the major modifications here require these identical steps, and might even include some template modifications.

I'd recommend looking at some of the documentation, and even at some other mods on the forum. Once you get a feel for how everyone expresses things, installations will become second nature to you.
