The API is the actual software component - Open Storage is the term used for devices or systems that can be used with NetBackup via the API

It is just a piece of software that allows the NetBackup daemons / processes to communicate with another piece of software - in the case you refer to it is PDDO but could be a DataDomain or Quantum DXi type device
It is a device driver if you like - it sits between the two to aloow them to work.

What if we dont install this?

You dont have a choice - it is not a seperate installation it is installed as part of NetBackup software for PDDO these days (other vendors do have an API that does need to be installed)
Without it you could not communicate and therefore not back up to PDDO
