Those Properties are essentially "kill switches" for the CustomActions. I don't remember the scenarios off the top of my head but we added those and the SKIPCONFIGUREIIS based on some needs. They are big red buttons that completely kill the CustomActions. The Properties do not provide fine control.
The decisions to install/uninstall Resources (like WebSites or SQL Strings) is not controlled by those properties.
