Zypper has like 2 important actions (verbs) which are update and install, but they are not really disjunct and they do overlap. Apt has only two important verbs: update and upgrade. Update refreshed the repo/list, upgrade does what zypper update does. And then there is install, so you have three: update, upgrade and install.
Zypper has "refresh". You can disable automatic refresh of the repositories, and then order zypper to refresh them when you want.
There are also update variants: patch, update, dup (distribution upgrade).
install is different, it is used to install something that was not installed previously.
It works really well. The zypper manual (man page) is more like a compendium, not a quick reference guide.
There is an openSUSE book. Years ago it was actually a printed book; nowdays it is rather intended for a web browser.
Have a look at doc.opensuse.org
