what exactly does the 'recs' (and rec_types) parameter in 'BlockState' and
'LayeredBlockState' do?
I couldn't find an example in the documentation. But for instance if I have
a network with integer edge weights (stored in the PropertyMap 'weight'), I
could specify recs=[weight], rec_types=["discrete-poisson"]. And probably
that would assume a Poisson distribution for the weights; am I right?
If I am, then would this be the same as specifying eweight=weight and
deg_corr=False?

You are right, but the reason why this is not yet documented in detail is
because it is still work in progress.

Not quite, because the prior probabilities for the parameters are specified
in a different way. It will all be explained in the documentation once it is
ready.
