I'm not sure I understand what they mean by this. Do commercial operators in the US require a specific license (or training?) for their instrument-rated pilots to fly in IFR conditions?
Yes, like also in most (if not all) other countries having IF capable aircraft and IF-rated pilots is not sufficient. To commercially operate under IF rules, the operator needs to be licensed for this too.

And yes, that comes with extra training requirements and additional, specific approved operating procedures per type of aerial work to be done under IFR.
