What happens to mods that don't include model/texture/sound/etc. files?
This is a very stupid question and I apologize in advance but what would happen if (for example) I, the p2p host for my friends, had a mod that didn't add these types of files, like a fall damage tweak? Would my friends need to download that individually for it to take effect?

that will be changing server-side things that will apply to them when they join, no download needed, at least in the case of fall damage

you see, if it has none of those, it simply doesn't exist, thus it doesn't need to download.

As long as the programmer has done his job correctly, GMod handles the .lua files by itself (they are automatically downloaded by clients if necessary).

So in this case, a simple fall damage script, our addon isn't needed and can be disabled without any problems. :missing:

If it's a server script, it's only needed on the server side, but if it's client or shared, we need to send it to the client side. That's it, and the programmer has to define this behaviour by using AddCSLuaFile https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Global.AddCSLuaFile

UWD isn't about code, it's about resources.
