That looks like a shell command, not AppleScript. "defaults" is a 
command line program that sets various defaults for Apple's GUI 
programs. See "man defaults" for more info.

In that case, you can simple use:

os.system('defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add 
"tile-datafile-data_CFURLString/Applications/Automator.app/_CFURLStringType0";')

os.system('killall "Dock"')

If you do indeed need AppleScript, perhaps Appscript can help:
