They prevent oil leakage. It's a good idea to get it done because they will go out eventually.

its a small O piece of rubber around the crank, prefents oil from comming out

cam seals are small O piece of rubber that goes on the gear to prevent oil loss.
there usually include in the job.

i would ask if he did the balancer shaft or got a blance shaft retainer seal.
that the seal that usually walks out.

The main seal IS the crank seal. There are two, front main seal, and rear main seal.
