"meta" is short for "metagame", which is the 'game' above the game itself. It consists of choosing which strategies (i.e. which factories or units to build) that are going to have an advantage without regard to what the opponent does during the game itself.

"Meta-" as a prefix (as in 'metagame') means, roughly, "something that refers to itself, but as a higher-level abstraction". For example, in computing, metadata is data attached to or contained within a file where the data is about the file itself. And so similarly, the metagame is a game about the game itself. For more examples, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta .
