It basically means that Elrond and Bilbo will be travelling West through the Shire in an Autumn soon to come. In other words, they will be heading to the Grey Havens soon, so he does not need to return to Rivendell to see Bilbo. Elrond was a ring-bearer too, and their time was now over - Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Bilbo and Frodo.

Remember what Arwen said to Frodo? She said that Bilbo "...will no longer make any journey save one." I believe Frodo knew what this meant, so when Elrond said what he did later, Frodo knew why Bilbo and Elrond would be together in the Shire.
