It does.

And then speech-dispatcher sees them.

When the tts is a library, you just need to install the
speech-dispatcher module for that (we don't necessarily want to pull the
library when installing speech-dispatcher, that'd clutter the disk and
the list of synths).

When the tts is a separate program, then speech-dispatcher module config
file will detect it.

It's another way of connecting to external synths. It's not the
recommended way since that gives way less control to speech-dispatcher
over the synthesis.
