its just a relatively non toxic detergent that helps wash the blot and remove any proteins that are non-specifically bound. some people follow up the TBST washes with a straight TBS wash to remove it, but it is not necessary. some people use TBST to dilute their Ab, too. Then again, some people use TBS, and add a little BSA (like .5 or .3%) to kind of keep blocking as they go along with the steps of the process. for that matter, you can just use a weak PBS with a 1% tween to dilute your Ab, too. It probably will not matter.
