HI,

Workflow rendering field decides how the stage field on the form will be shown or populated. It has all this values which you mentioned in your questions. Explanation is given below:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-servicenow-platform/page/administer/workflow-administrati...

OOB it is always Workflow Driven means whatever you specific in activities in workflow will be used. 

Note: Most workflows should use the workflow-driven renderer. This renderer is used by default for all workflows. Use a different stage renderer only after careful consideration and to satisfy specific requirements for how the stages appear.

Stage order means it will decide how to order this stages on stage field or how to shown them in stage field.

The Stage order field on the Stages tab has two options:

• Computed uses the actual workflow path in order
• User-specified uses the order specified in the Order column on the Workflow Stages record
