The way I understand, helm is the npm of k8s.

You can install, update, and remove an app in your k8s cluster using helm.

And you release a new version of your app to a helm repository.

The thing i would add to this is that in most cases, you need to manually provide config values to the install.

This sounds okay in principle, but I far too often end up needing to look through the template files (what helm deploys) to understand what a config option actually does since documentation is hit or miss.
