As Rikki said, they control a number of things. Take a look at the vacuum diagram:

As you see, the vacuum system is used to control valves that have to do with the turbos and emissions.

i.e. that's why when there is a vacuum leak (depending on the location) you can have emissions problems or boost problems.
