Use of field "Hosts" on section "Map users to roles"

What is the purpose of the field “Hosts” in the section “Map users to roles”?

https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security-access-control/users-roles/#map-users-to-roles

It’s not to restrict the use of that role to a specific host because I changed to a different ip and it continue working. The documentation says “the hostname or IP the request originated from.”, so it’s only an informative field?
