The converter is a standard item in an RV. It is often part of the battery charger. It CONVERTS 120v AC power into 12v DC power. This means when you are plugged into shore power (AC), your 12v systems (lights, fridge, etc.), will run from the shore power rather than from the battery.
The inverter is an optional device. It INVERTS 12v DC power into 120v AC power. This allows the 120v systems in your RV (outlets, air conditioner, etc.) to operate when not connected directly to shore power (AC).
You will have a converter/charger. Some RVs may have an inverter IN addition to the converter. That's a good way to remember what you have - the INverter will be IN addition to the CONverter.
