How does the insert cursor work in ArcGIS?
The InsertCursor returns an enumeration object that hands out row objects. New row objects can be obtained using the newRow method on the enumeration object into which rows are to be inserted. Each call to insertRow on the cursor creates a new row in the table whose initial values are set to the values in the input row.

When to use insertcursor on a point feature?
InsertCursor can be used to add new rows. When using InsertCursor on a point feature class, creating a PointGeometry and setting it to the SHAPE@ token is a comparatively expensive operation. Instead, define the point feature using tokens such as SHAPE@XY, SHAPE@Z, and SHAPE@M for faster, more efficient access.
