Disclaimer: this is a description of what I have used them, not an authoritative statement about how they should be used, nor a report on the norms for the entire userbase for this Phabricator instance.
#epic identifies Phabricator tasks that comprise multiple other Phabricator tasks. They could be very large pieces of work, which have been decomposed into many tasks via Child Tasks. Or they could be 'tracking' tasks, holding a list of lots of other tasks, either through parentage or lists in the description or both. #goal identifies a Phabricator task that does not represent work to be done or a bug to be resolved, but instead is part of a project tracking system. So #epic is a fairly common project management tem used in Wikimedia Phab in its usual sense, and #goal has no set meaning other than what it means to the people involved in teaching that task.
