What does intercept outgoing calls in the Android phone aps mean exactly?

In my android phone the app needed to run the entire system has a permission set that you cant change or block of course:

Intercept incoming calls, State name, and Identity

Read SMS or MMS, receive sms

My location

I know this is used for legitimate purposes and stuff but lets say I download a DJ app my buddy made can he install those permissions and then listen to my outgoing calls, read my text messages, know my location, my name etc... or am I missing something?
