With your example, there's certainly no difference.  But try the following:

\markup {

  \column {

    \right-align { one }

    two

    \center-align { three }

  }

}


 \markup {

  \left-column {

    \right-align { one }

    two

    \center-align { three }

  }

}

The command left-column and friends map the alignment to the stencils,
replacing whatever was there in the first place.
