Bedeutung
Indicating ownership.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The dacha is the ultimate 'моё' space. It's where Russians express their individuality through gardening and building. The history of shared apartments made the distinction of 'mine' vs 'ours' very sharp and sometimes contentious. While claiming ownership is important, a host will often say 'Всё моё — твоё' (Everything mine is yours) to a guest. Claiming something too loudly can be seen as 'jinxing' it. People might use a humble tone when saying 'Это моё'.
The 'General' Rule
If you are pointing at a pile of things and don't want to name them, just say 'Это всё моё'.
Gender Matters
If you name the object, you MUST change the ending: 'Это мой телефон', not 'Это моё телефон'.

Figurative Use
Use 'Это моё' to sound more like a native when talking about your passions. It sounds more natural than 'Мне это нравится'.
