I hear that on new motherboards, there is something called a TPM header?

What does it do and what do I do with it I have to deal with it?

A TPM header is just a connector to plug in a Trusted Platform Module.

In all probability, do I need to worry about it?

The Wiki page says it's got to do with software licences.

Again, do I need to worry about it?

Well, the basic question is, do I even have to change anything in UEFI/BIOS when I build the computer and do some torrenting?

A "TPM Header" is just a connector for plugging things like this in (which is a security dongle for your motherboard.) Don't want it? Don't plug one in. Simples.
