Isn't that just Amtrak's way of saying "find a way from Back Bay Station to North Station on your own"? Taxi, MBTA Orange Line, or whatever else.

Yes. 
It means there is no direct connection between the 2 stations. So you must do a "self transfer" between the 2 stations - at your expense!
If you have very few bags that you can easily carry, I would chose BBY. The Orange Line T (subway) is just up the stairs/elevator from the platform and less than 100 feet to the T and their stairs/elevator. And it goes directly to North Station. If you have lots of bags, or checked baggage, I would go to BOS (South Station) and grab a cab to BON. You also could take the T, but it involves changing trains midway!
