That command calls the built in Windows 10 component responsible for managing the system license and instructs it to attempt an online activation. If that is the only line in the entire batch file, then yes, it is perfectly safe to use.

Is there any reason to activate Windows?

Windows 10 license keys can be expensive for some, which is why I would recommend you to buy a retail license. You can then transfer it. You should activate Windows 10 on your computer for features, updates, bugs fixes, and security patches.

Does it matter if Windows not activated?
