What if I want to install a package that isn’t already installed and isn’t available as a Flatpak/Snap?

Then you just layer it.

Interesting, so that's sort of customising the image somehow? Does it use an overlay FS or something?

The silverblue docs explain it best:

When a package is installed with rpm-ostree, a new OS image is composed by adding the RPM payload to the existing OS image, and creating a new, combined image.
