I think they are the same as for format$.

"00.00" will use two digits for seconds (or more when needed, but 2 is minimum), and two after the decimal.
"#.00" will use any number of digits for seconds, and two after the decimal.
"#.#" will use any number of digits for seconds, and any after the decimal.

...and so on.

Yes, it is used to specify a user format for seconds and milliseconds:
thinBasic calculates time remaining to timeout and show using below code.
[code=thinbasic]FORMAT$((TimeRemain / 1000), gTimerFmt)[/code]

With a user format is possible to just show seconds or 10th of second and so on.
