CFG files can be found everywhere and are not specific to Source. In this case it is an abbreviation of "Configuration"

In Source games, a .cfg file can be executed to perform a list of console commands. CFG files can be written in Notepad or any other simple text editor.

They must be placed in the game's cfg folder. E.g:
\steam\SteamApps\[user name]\half-life 2\hl2\cfg

They can be run from the console using exec filename where filename is the name of the config file, excluding its .cfg extention.
