reference of "it"

Does "it" here imply "the writer's idea about non-residency that is pessimistic" or "the fact that non-residency is supported nowadays"?

What I cling to here – and it is in part a corrective to or defence of non-residency – is the fact that artists are frequently commissioned to make work for places and cultures to which they do not strictly ‘belong’, and that this might prove to be a useful advantage.

Does "and that this might prove to be a useful advantage" mean:

1. "and that this is thought by commissioners to be a useful advantage, while it is not actually so"?

or

does it say that the writer thinks non-residency is actually a useful advantage?
