Yes they do, to install an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) : this is a white Openreach powered device which links to the outside box over a fibre-optic pigtail, typically passing through a new drill hole in an external wall.
The external enclosure is the Customer Service Point (CSP) and houses the end of the incoming optical cable and protects the splice point with the pigtail.

Yes that and usually a leaflet is all the conversion kit contains

Thank you, I did wonder as the leaflet has nothing useful to say and looks like we have had an engineer put some sort of grey plastic box outside our front door but not sure if anyone will need "inside access" to the house or when we will change over and therefore connect the new cable...

Just a cable arrived
That's correct: where the Sky subscriber is already using a Sky Broadband Hub for FTTC, that's compatible with FTTP using the ethernet cable 'conversion kit' to link between the ONT ('fibre modem') and the Hub itself.
The white Max Hub for FTTC is also compatible with FTTP using the same cable.
