That's where two pieces of magic come in:

- Placing that line in ftplugin/netrw.vim means that the mapping will
only be defined when creating a netrw buffer (at its FileType event)
- The <buffer> modifier in the mapping means it will only apply to the
current buffer, other buffers won't see it.

See
:help ftplugin
:help :map-<buffer>
