Plug-ins are filters not included with software, so filters that you plug in, or third-party filters.
Once you find one to download/purchase, you save it to your hard drive in a folder. Then in PS/PSE go to Edit>Preferences>Plug-ins & Scratch Disks and check the Additional Plug-ins Folder and browse to the folder where you saved it. Reopen PS/PSE and it will be in the bottom of your Filters menu. Save all your new plug-ins there and PS/PSE will always find it automatically.
Some of my favorite free ones are (no links, hopefully someone will post or you can do Google, they're easy to find)
Virtual Photographer by Optikverve
Vizros 4 for curling/twisting
Simple Filters, love the Quick Tile one
Jama 3D by Redfield
I also downloaded the demo of AV Bros Page Curl and use that as a model for making my own twists and curls. The image has AV BROS DEMO all over it, so I can't use it, but it gets me the right shapes and pattern direction I need to make my own.
Have fun! Plug-ins are a blast
