While I can't say for sure; it looks to me like that IS the complete command. Just because it isn't working, it doesn't mean that's not the complete command.
From the searches I've done, the term "Adobe Creative Cloud" keeps coming up (being what the "CC" refers to in those searches), which suggests the "Extension Manager" adds extensions to the Adobe software you can download with PlayOnLinux (and through the "Adobe Creative Cloud" for PlayOnLinux). The word "cloud" suggests to me that maybe the apps are stored in "the cloud" rather than on your local computer?

I want a drop-down menu to quickly open my POL games. It's not really a big deal so may just give it a miss. The command is incomplete anyway.

It looks like the --run option just loads a shortcut by whatever name you specify after the option. It looks like either you simply don't have a shortcut for it and/or the "Extension Manager" isn't installed. You could try and find out what file the shortcut is supposed to refer to.
It is a complete command, it's just not a command that you can run on the command line directly like that. The %F gets replaced by the filename(s) provided by whatever program calls the command, e.g. by a file manager executing a context menu option on a specific file or files.
In this case %F means a file or list of files, so you could select several files using the file manager and, through the context menu, feed that list of filenames to the application.
