In the context of the episode the message, if any seems to be that you cannot keep a lid on knowledge. The Vorlons tried, but IPX and the B5 crew found out about Thirdspace by themselves, and surely so will someone else in the future.
That said, I'm not sure this espisode went so far as to have much of a message or explore these issues; it comes across more as a fantasy adventure.
