They are doing the same thing as the WRITE instruction from a memory stream, except that they create a string from the written contents. For example, MkInt$(X) will take the integer X and will return a 4 bytes string, as an integer uses 4 bytes in memory. MkBool$(True) returns Chr$(1), but maybe it should return Chr$(255), as, by definition, True <=> -1 in Gambas. These functions are not really useful, because they use the endianness of the system. Whereas READ and WRITE on a stream can use any endianness with the ByteOrder property of the stream.
