Can someone explain to me what these actually do? Doesn't there need to be a way to actually manipulate the airflow into each room (air vent flap motor etc)?

  That was, partially, explained part way through the article: These sensors make the whole system more accurate and keep things comfortable. That might come at the cost of overheating another area of your home that you’re not in, though. Unless you’ve got smart vents, heating systems are nowhere near precise enough to set different climates for each room.

    So basically for heating this is a "min temp" sensor per room. For cooling I assume "max temp".

      That's what I read as implied by the quote from the article.
