You don't have to use it with CFSETs either:
<cfset foo = "bar">
To slightly oversimplify, you need to use hashes when you want to
instantiate the value of the variable or expression within a string.
<cfset outputme = "Output this string!">
<cfoutput>#outputme#</cfoutput>
<cfset foo = "in">
<cfset bar = "Put foo #foo# this string">
(which could be rewritten as
<cfset bar = "Put foo " & foo & " this string">
<cfset bar = "baz">
<cfset foo = bar>
<cfoutput>#foo#</cfoutput> (this will output "baz")
