Partition types can preselect a preferred filing system format, but you
can override that and format them with a different system. And how you
actually format the partition is all that will matter.
e.g. If you reformat a DOS partition with EXT4, you get an EXT4 filing
system.
It's mostly only partitioning software that will notice what type of
partition a partition has been flagged as. Maybe boot selection menus,
too. Even GUI-based formatting tools will probably ignore the type,
and just make you pick which system from a list.
