Armor Spikes: You can have spikes added to your armor, which allow you to deal extra piercing damage (see Table: Weapons) on a successful grapple attack.

So, these are kind of useless if the bad guy grappling you has a higher grapple check (which unfortunetly most bad guys have) since they deal damage "on a successful grapple attack."

Or by "grapple attack" do they just mean an attack you can make while in grapple (and take the -4 penalty I presume?).

Both options are available. You can inflict damage with armor spikes via a grapple check, or an attack roll.
