No way that's a plastic bit, plastic bits have a much steeper tip(cutting) angle to to prevent pulling up brittle materials such as plastic. See true plastic bit pic...
My guess would be for very soft materials, but that just a guess.

The drill bit with the slow spiral is for drilling brass or bronze, unless it has a carbide tip.

If the bit is carbide it's for concrete, I have several. You drill a hole in morter and imsert a plastic piece in hole and use a screw in plastic to mount things. The screw expands the plastic. Pictured is 1/4 inch, different sizes are available.
