On my site and this (source) OSQA site the users have a grey box at the beginning of their page on the right hand side. Is this suppose to be a customization option? I would like it to be if it is not...

If it is, where do I edit it? Can I add something like Google maps?

You can fill it in with information about you on your edit profile page. Go to your profile and click User Tools, then Edit Profile. It's the textarea at the bottom.

I modified the template so there's the text "About:" there by default, so at least people know what it's for if the user chose not to enter anything.

Ahh, thank you. Can I add special formatting to my box or is it a text only thing?

You can add whatever you want. Change the template's HTML, use CSS or use Django's template language (e.g. if you want to use an if statement): https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/
