Launch the installer, you will see it for yourself

Don't understand what is the use to have both encoder and decoder and also filter for the same thing, for example MPEG. This is because I don't really understand the difference between filter, encoder, and decoder. I know they must have different functions. If a MPEG filter is needed to play mpg files, why do I need its encoder and decoder?

An encoder is used to compress a media file into a specific format. A decoder is used to play back a media format. I do not reccomend codec packs, instead use Media Player Classic Home Cinema which has many decoders built right in.
