I've been ramp checked when although I hold a CFI certificate, but was not instructing. I was asked, "are you an instructor?" and responded, "I am an instructor, but was not instructing." The FAA Inspectors interviewed my pilot-rated passenger separately. My passenger confirmed he just being a passenger. In the FAA's logbook review a few days later, if they were concerned, they would have noted that flight logged without dual given.
It's really simple, if you're acting as a flight instructor, have your certificate and the certificate which it requires with you.
Now if you are an A&P mechanic, you don't have to have the certificate with you, thus the wording.
