What's the difference in Photoshop between sRGB "assignment" and
"conversion"?

"Assignment" doesn't touch the image data, it simply assigns
a profile to it. It's primarily intended to attach a profile
to an image that is known to be (say) sRGB but has no
existing profile. If you assign a sRGB profile to a (say)
Adobe RGB image then the image will be incorrectly rendered
because of the mismatch, resulting in this example in the
image looking "washed out".

"Conversion" alters the image data so that the colours will
look appear unchanged when viewed in the new colour space,
then assigns the matching profile.
