Actually that way of giving someone the fingers (palm in V sign) is apparently limited to the UK, Ireland, NZ, Australia and South Africa. It's not used that way in the US or Canada- they only use the 1 finger version.
In most countries it's just another way of saying "two"- I was pretty surprised when I first came to Japan and was working in a restaurant, and Japanese customers would order two of something by giving me the fingers! I got used to it after a while though
