What does Genesis 11:30 mean?

This brief verse sums up a driving force in the lives of Abram and Sarai: Sarai was barren and could not have children. Nevertheless, in the next chapter, God will promise them a child. That promise will not be fulfilled for many years, and will test their faith deeply. When the promise is fulfilled, though, it will be the victorious reassurance that the God of Abraham is trustworthy and true.
