Look at it this way: SH3 Commander is really a glorified mod installer. When you load the game via SH3 Commander, it looks at various game files and loads certain mods depending on the date of the current career, the boat type in use, and the flotilla in use. It also loads up certain tweaks that you chose in the SH3 Commander 'SH3 Options' menu. So it loads all these things into the game - and these things are installed just like an install program would install a mod - only every time you use SH3 Commander it installs a slightly different mod from its database of files. It installs these files and keeps a record of exactly what it has installed. When you do a 'rollback' what you're doing is uninstalling the SH3 Commander mod files - uninstalling the mod. This happens every time you launch the game via SH3 Commander - it uninstalls the previous mod and installs a new one to match the career situation. The Rollback feature simply enables you to uninstall all the SH3 Commander mods automatically, in case you want to install other mods.

Hope that explains it better.
