also, this has made me REALLY inquisitive. is it possible to make this output where people are in text format? like, i have a user in SOuth Africa, i want to know who it is. is it possible to have it say where a user is based in their member profile, using this database?

People should already have a location field per vbulletin default.
While this system could be setup to automatically insert information into that profile field it probably wouldnt be a good idea; the GEOIP city lite database while being the best 'free' IP database is still not very accurate in terms of hitting your city direct on.
So you would most likely have profiles with many false positives; the map was created to be a 'general' observation of where your members/guest are scattered throughout the world.
