Incremental Sync Method in Custom Connector Builder

Summary

Question

Hi in Custom Connector builder , Incremental Sync Method, how does it work
"Start datetime" is set to "user input" to allow the user of the connector configuring a Source to specify the time to start syncing
what does this mean , does it mean that when the user gives the input, it starts sync daily from same date which user has given
for Eg. if user gives 2020-09-01, then does it daily run from the same date?
what is the main difference between, cursor field and Startdate time field in airbyte UI
