What does it mean that "the Boost project is legally represented by Boost Foundation?" Can you give historical examples of this representation? Or future scenarios?

This means, if there was a law suit involving the Boost project, Boost Foundation would be the entity representing Boost in court. I believe there was at least one instance when Boost Foundation represented Boost in legal communications: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2020/09/249666.php I'm not a member of the Boost Foundation, so I can't tell you whether there were other similar instances. You should ask the Foundation, if you're interested. Aside from that, as Glen confirmed, Boost Foundation owns crucial material resources that allow the Boost project to run.
