Generally speaking it appears that the /var/log/zypp/history file contains the details of what got installed (mostly package names), while the /var/log/zypper.log file details how zypper did the installs (mostly calls issued).

Btw, the plugin is in both the 15.2 and 15.3 main repositories. Interesting. I can see it is in the 15.2 repository and was apparently submitted/updated by Ludwig Nussel. Two questions: (1) why would he do that if it isn't applicable to openSUSE? and (2) why don't I see a 15.3 repository when I search https://software.opensuse.org/ ?
I think there is a problem with the search engine at software.opensuse.org. Several times in the last month I've searched for a package only to not find any 15.3 version, even though I definitely confirm that it is in the repository. I just tested this a moment ago, and it is still true. Appears as if the repository is not being picked up at all. Maybe a consequence of having SLE packages :-?
On 15.3 there is the "Main repository" from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/oss and there is the
"Update Repository with Updates From SUSE Linux Enterprise 15" from http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle
I searched for a dozen packages pulled at random from the repositories, some only in the Main (i.e., no update yet) and others in Main along with a newer version in Update. In every test the page returns the package description (as normal) along with "There is no official package available for openSUSE Leap 15.3". I did see 15.3 packages from the OBS though. AFAICT neither Main nor Update SLE is being searched.
