Actually do a search on YouTube for "DIY e-motion rollers". There are some very ingenious people who have made their own fore and aft motion system for their standard rollers. Not sure about "rockers".
But to answer your question, the fore and aft movement allows the bike to naturally move underneath you when getting out of the saddle (making it a lot more natural and as a result easier), or if you are just getting punchy in the saddle. Once you have done it a while and feel comfortable you will be able to weight the front end of your bike while getting out of the saddle, just like you do on the road. When learning to get out of the saddle on rollers, you have to keep your weight over your saddle until you learn not to overcorrect the front end and end up riding off or falling.
