Q: What is the circle head used for on this kit?

05J6610 - Fence & Center Kit for Compact Routers
When attached to the Veritas Compact Router Base Plate, this fence and center kit lets you use the edge of a workpiece as a reference when making freehand cuts with a compact router. It can also be set to accurately guide the router when cutting arcs or circles. The 6" rods allow offsets from zero to 5" with the straight fences and diameters from 6 1/2" to 20 1/2" with the circle head.
It includes two straight fences made of torrefied maple (both 6" long, one 1 1/4" wide and the other 5/8" wide for thin stock), a pair of curve guides, and a circle head with three interchangeable centers (sharp pin, 1/4" post and flat disc).

Yes, this Veritas Fence & Center Kit for Compact Routers attaches to the Veritas Compact Router Base Plate. It isn't a stand-alone accessory.
The wider 1 1/4" fence suits general edge-guided cuts, while the narrower 5/8" fence is made for thin stock where a wider fence would overhang the workpiece. Both are 6" long and adjust for offsets up to 5".
It can do both. Swap in whichever centre point suits the job, sharp pin, post or flat disc, and the circle head will guide a full circle or a partial arc equally well.
