you can find out by trying ...

the lookup is using the third argument, the replacement is the fourth

auffasste => auf\zwnj fasste

when not hyphenated (without the () the third one is the replacement)

\enabletrackers[hyphenation.applied.visualize]

\startexceptions[de]
     au{f-}{f}{ff}as-ste
     au{f-}{f}{ff}(f!f)ax-xte
\stopexceptions

\mainlanguage[de]

\dorecurse{100}{#1 auffasste auffaxxte }
