Looks like a tensioner of some kind, but I'm really not sure why you'd need it? Seems like it's over-complicating things a bit.

If we could see the rest of the bike the reason for this particular model might become clearer. Close ratio block. It’s Tourney so a budget model.

Turns the cable 90 degrees without the attendant friction of the cable inside an outer (and increases the turn radius of the rest of the cable from the chainstay stop. [ETA: This reduces the pressure required with the right thumb on the shift lever; and image.]

Wasn't something like that the next new thing at the end of the last century?
I've seen that sort of thing before, but not recently.

Not one of those things which allow you to mix Campag and Shimano shifters and mechs, is it?

Correct - https://bike.shimano.com/en-NZ/technologies/component/details/wheel-type-cable-guide.html and used on quite a few Tourney TZ rear mechs.
Odd that Shimano use this on their very low end MTB range, yet SRAM use it on their top end Eagles

My Shimano Nexave has a very similar pulley arrangement. Seems to work fine.
