I think
I think that filters are the Drupal term for something that works on the text of nodes and selectively converts the input. resulting in input formats. I have not messed around here, so I may be wrong.

Close-- filters work on the output. They process the info from the db before displaying it to the user. They do not alter what is stored in the db. The one exception to this i know of is the http://drupal.org/project/safehtml module which filters data before it's stored to the db as a security measure.

You are right! When I change the filter, the look changes, but the node content did not change. Thanks!
