yep two purposes with those. they are a way of properly orienting the tip to the body of the IEM so they end up at the correct angle in relation to the body when they are fully inserted and so they are correctly aligned with your ear to put the cable over and sit snugly. The silicone is too grippy to twist the nozzle to adjust while they are inserted (owww) also they can serve as a way of pulling them out if the nozzle comes out or if you want to use them as earplugs. Although I dont know how well that would really work (I think its more for the first reason) because the tips are twisted into place and out again and fit quite tightly, so pulling them out like that is more likely to just damage them. To use them to orient the IEM you basically just twist the tip on and then adjust so they just kind of rest against the body of the W3 (or whatever your IEM of choice)
