I don't understand how temperature is regulated with my ASHP

in Heat pumps
I have a Vaillant aroTherm Plus 5kW heat pump and a SensoComfort 720f thermostatic controller.
The SensoComfort has a control called a heat curve which determines my system's flow temperature for any given outside temperature.
But there is also a control to set the desired ambient temperature.
What I don't understand is the relationship between these two controls. I can see that the Heat Curve determines what the flow temperature will be, and I presume that the flow temperature determines the ambient temperature.
But if I desire a different ambient temperature, this surely requires a different flow temperature from the temperature specified by the Heat Curve. So it looks as if the Heat Curve is only true for one ambient temperature. Is that the case?
