It says nothing other than the standard photoelectric effect. Photons could have been photoelectrons; but I think of photons as cycles of charge, but they are overall, negative.
I think you're confusing photons and electrons. A photon has neither mass nor charge, while an electron has both. A photoelectron is just a normal electron that has been freed due to the photoelectric effect. It is not some combination of a photon and electron.
But they aren't completely unrelated. For example, an electron will emit a photon when its energy level drops.
