"I mostly use it as an ergonomic right hand Ab"

I also prefer to use this G#-A trill key (the curly one) than the fixed side G# key for a G#-A trill as the action is better.

But it's real use is indeed for the G#-A trill which is done by keeping the curly key held down with RH1 and trilling with LH3. This key opens the G# key but closes the LH3 fingerplate to bring the A down to pitch while the G# key is open as the perforation in the fingerplate is left uncovered. Depending on how your oboe is set up, the curly G#-A trill key may also close the LH2 fingerplate as well, though it's not really that important if it doesn't as the LH G# key will close it (see below).

Ab-Bb trill is by playing Ab (G#) and trilling with LH2 - a linkage from the LH G# key (mounted over by the LH C-D trill key barrel) closes the LH2 fingerplate to bring the Bb down to pitch, again as the perforation in the LH2 fingerplate is uncovered when LH2 is lifted.
