Is this ONLY used when you edit Tags inside the Listing onscreen?

Or: Do you need to FILE..SAVE after running an Action Group on somr MP3s?

You only have to save modifications when you edit data in the Tag Panel - for this press Ctrl-S or click on the toolbar icon.  
Modifications in the file list are saved automatically as soon as you leave the cell.  
Modifications via actions or action groups are also saved immediately.

But only, if the option "Save Tags when..." is activated, right?

No, that option is only for the tagpanel. Changes in the list are always saved.
