What is the meaning of the ‘t’ in the phrase ‘ouvre-t-on’?

No meaning. It is there for pronunciation purposes only when forming inverted verbs ending in a vowel with il/elle/on.

I think That it may have two meanings
Quand ouvre-t-on les cadeaux?(when do we open the gifts=because "on" can be used for "we")
Quand ouvre-t-on les cadeaux?( when are the gifts opened= because "on" can be used for anonymous subjects in passive sentences

Its just a liaison for pronunciation because there are two vowels together otherwise

When noun is ending with vowel and subject is starting with vowel we have to add -t- in between them.
