Thanks JandM, it is clear now
I was outside NZ when I applied for RV, and I did not have a job offer in NZ, and thus did not claim points for this.
And also, my visa approval letter and visa labels does not mention anything about "Section 49(1) condition". So I hope that, this condition is not applicable for me.
Just found this thread discussing the same topic:

Thank you!

What they are referring to here is if someone has been granted their visa with a Section 49(1) condition on it. Though this condition can be many things, the most common is when someone has had points in their EOI for skilled employment, but haven't yet been in that employment for three months. Then the condition is that they must work for that named employer in the job mentioned for three months. After that time, still employed, they can go to INZ and prove (from their pay, bank and tax records) that they have done this, then a fresh visa label will be issued without the condition - and that is what is known as 'having met the condition'.
