The result of this command gives the 4 corners of the matrix, but can't figure out how that command works

That's equivalent to:
[A(1,1), A(1,end);...
A(1,end), A(end,end)]
https://www.mathworks.com/company/newsletters/articles/matrix-indexing-in-matlab.html - read above linear indexing.

Hey did you mean its equivalent to:
[A(1,1), A(1,end);...
A(end,1), A(end,end)]
or
[A(1,1), A(1,end);...
A(1,end), A(end,end)] because the second option doesn't giving the 4 corners of the matrix

@Ceethal Kottakali Piyus, you are correct.
A = magic(5) % an example matrix
A([1,end],[1,end])
[A(1,1), A(1,end); A(end,1), A(end,end)]
@RAVIKIRAN YALAMARTHI's answer may also serve as demonstration.

Simple example:
A = [1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9]
A([1,end],[1,end])
ans = 2 by 2
1 3
7 9
To call the elements in a matrix, we have to mention the row and column index values.
So, A(1,2) = 2. Since, 1st row and 2nd column element is 2.
similarly, A([1,end],[1,end]) will call the elements of,
1st row & 1st column: A(1,1)
last row & 1st column: A(end,1)
1st row & last column: A(1,end)
last row & last column: A(end,end)
