has several meanings. Most often it refers to a person that takes a break from online gambling or chatting (long or short). It could also mean that a person isn't logged in at a particular place (he/she could then be refered to as AFK eventough it's possible he/she is just playing somewhere else - similiar to offline). It is has also start to replace IRL (since technically everything is In Real Life).

AFK 

"Away From Keyboard"
This means that you are temporarily away from the keyboard during an online game with other humans.

In an online role-playing game you are chatting to your mates. Then you must leave the computer so you say:
"I'm AFK for a bit".

They then know that you are away for a bit.
