Not much to tell you here ...... SMF(e)WTM invokes a process which does some initial validation of the input and environment and then reads an in-storeage table to see if the record type(/subtype) has been requested by the user (via the parms in SMFPRMxx) and then, IF the record type was requested based on the parms, the processing invokes the appropriate IEFU8x exit (based on the current environment).
If the record selection exit (IEFU8x) confirms the selection, the processing copies the input record data into a buffer in the SMF address space (cross memory) and signals the totally asynchronous writer function to output the record buffer to either the active MANx dataset -or- to the logstream which ever is specified in the SMFPRMxx parmlib member. After the copy of the data noted above the SMF(e)WTM invoked processing returns control to the invoker of the macro (at the next instruction). That's all there.
