Many of the texts in the text palette are special texts that have special properties to change the function of MuseScore. A few are duplicates of other text types with certain options turned on. There is no entry in the list of palettes to point a user to an explanation of each of the default palette entries. They are bit spread out through the manual based upon their functions.

Something happens: it appears on the score and people reading your score will now see that instruction.
But yes, not all texts have a playback effect (yet). Nevertheless it remains important to use the correct text type for a given situation.

There's even a handbook page on it with a bit more info on how to configure it to get the instrument & sound you want: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/mid-staff-instrument-changes
