(Caveat: I'm not following this thread.)

The doc string, and how those two are used in
the code, tell you the answer.

`dired-get-marked-files' just gives you a list
of the marked files.  `dired-map-over-marks'
is a macro, not a function, and it _processes_
the files.

More precisely, `dired-map-over-marks' evals
some code with point on each marked line:

  "Eval BODY with point on each marked line.
   Return a list of BODY's results."
