What does “Refresh” Do on Automation?

The option is going to be removed given the lack of value it offers. It was only surfaced due to a backend change. The refresh command polls the device itself for device status. Devices should be proactively reporting their state and would only be useful if SmartThings had an incorrect state for a device which would indicate a device or platform error. As this is rare, rarer than people might think, there isn’t much value to the capability in an automation.
