yes basically when your painting it (taking that you had the void as your base) you just paint over the lines then the lines will be gone and the paint will replace it.
Then the templates basically put all the wheels and details back on plus the panels but not by using the void skin details. They are made so that things look more realistic more 3D so in some places it makes it lighter and some darker and in general it's like a touch up to complete your aircraft.
If there are a few corrections to make at this point you will see the lines and once you finish making the corrections you the template on again and get the lines back that you may have covered.
Templates are in .psd format which as far as I know can only be opened by Photoshop. I'll show you a picture of a skin that I'm working on with and without template...
