How do I read the field alias?

When I see - FIELDALIAS-Status_as_Error_Code = Status AS Error_Code.

Does it mean that Status gets the value of Error_Code or the other way around?

It is this:

FIELDALIAS-<class> = <orig_field_name> AS <new_field_name>

Described here:

So Error_Code gets the value of Status.
