What does the bridge port on EAP 245 v3 do?

I am looking at the EAP 245 v3 here right now and I read the 2nd port is a bridge port. Does it mean I can have an Ethernet cable connect between this mesh AP and my 4-port unmanaged switch so my PC and what not can connect from the switch?
Right now this is how I run my setup with TP Link's Deco mesh routers:
My ISP box has an Ethernet cable connected to theDeco Mesh Router. The 2nd port is connected with my 4-port unmanaged switch. This covers the upstairs wired and wireless access.
One of the ports runs a cat6e downstairs to my basement. This cable is plugged into my 2nd Deco mesh router. The 2nd port on that router is connected to another switch which is used by my PC and a few other things. Will this setup work with EAP 245?
Also, does EAP 245 have to be mounted on the ceiling? I read on the Interent its design doesn't care if it's ceiling or vertically standing up, right? Thanks.
