The zone air outputs are described here. Essentially, the Zone Air Temperature is the well-stirred zone air temperature reported at each system time step. An EnergyPlus simulation can iterate multiple system timesteps within a single zone timestep, so the average of the system time step air temperatures is reported as the 'Zone Mean Air Temperature'.
Also, to be slightly nit-picky, these outputs are resulting from the EnergyPlus simulation; OpenStudio is an interface that supports EnergyPlus simulations.
