/usr/sbin/update-grub2 simply calls update-grub.

when a new kernel is installed (say via an update), or a mew module is 
built using dkms, then the script /usr/sbin/update-grub automatically 
gets run.

This in turn runs /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig which is also a script that 
you can read.

This, basically, searches your system for kernels and other operating 
systems (like Windows for example) and automatically creates the 
necessary files for grub to read when booting.

Other grub configuration rules and parameters - aside from the default 
kernel names and locations - should go in /etc/default/grub.

All this is designed to mean that you no longer should manually edit 
anything in /boot/grub.
