this is explained on the page I linked to above http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfformat_value/

$value = the value which was loaded from the database
$post_id = the post ID from which the value was loaded
$field = An array containing all the field settings for the field which was used to upload the attachment

Let’s say that you wanted to do sortcoded on all acf text fields

add_flter('acf/format_value/type=text', 'text_field_do_shortcodes', 10, 3);
function text_field_do_shortcodes($value, $post_id, $field) {
  return do_shortcode($value);
}
