It means a GPLv3 project can use something licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 by converting it to GPLv3, as is required. E.g using a CC BY-SA photograph as a background or a splash image in a program.
And while you technically can't take the original, yeah, practically everything except "here is the image file alone in a folder" counts as modifying and a derivative work. Resize it, crop it, change a .png to a .jpg etc - all modify the original work.
