Yeah, the only reason you'd need that is if your A/C system is not working.

Defrost mode should turn on the A/C compressor and blow dry air on the windshield, clearing moisture quickly.

If you have one of those cars that doesn't turn the compressor on automatically in defrost mode, then you need to hit the A/C button yourself.

It's called defrost in all of the vehicles I currently drive. No defog setting.

It's a market thing, I'm sure. Euros say defog more than anyone else, I think...but you don't exactly see if written much, the symbols are pretty universal (little curved window for front, square window for back).

Most cars anymore, even with manual AC controls, automatically turn on the AC when you switch to the defog setting.

And it's for both condensation and ice. The front, at least. I've never seen those rear defrosters do anything but melt little lines into ice/frost.
 
I'm speaking of the owner's manuals. They all call it the "defrost" setting.

All of the rear defrosters on my cars clear the rear window pretty well.

When I remote start my Grand Cherokee, if it's near or below 32 degrees, the system automatically goes into defrost mode for the front windows, and it also turns on the rear defroster and heated mirrors. So basically in the winter, I never see any fogged or frosted windows. They are cleared already before I get outside.
