Format and Filter is used almost interchangeably.

A "filter" is a program to take a document and produce an output file from it. Sometimes it is just saving the file. Other times it is converting it into some other format. oDoc.storeToUrl is called to do the work. See also: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/About_Import_and_Export_Filters .
