The backend gets to define what the parts of an entry are. Some backends will
import actual content into the related Org entry, while others will only
import a link back to the original content. This is what I would do for a
backend that monitors files within an "Inbox" directory, for example.

Sure, this would be configurable through both a customization variable (for
setting default behavior), and through an inherited property (as part of the
backend context).

It is defined, by the ox-org backend. :) I imagine that very soon now, I'll
pay attention to SEQ_TODO and the usual Org variable, rather than having my
own custom variable for this.

There's really not! I wrote it because I imagine at some point wanting to
take a snapshot of the "state" of an entry, for the purpose of accelerating
certain backends, but I haven't yet found that use. For now, it's just living
in ox-lzw so that it's under version control. If it becomes useful, I'll
submit it to Emacs separately and ahead of Org-X.
