Is using an operator a replacement for installing a service via helm?

Not really. Operators are things you deploy to a cluster that can subscribe to updates to K8s API objects. They get notified of changes and can act on them. This effectively lets you implement new services for Kubernetes as custom resource definitions, eg letting users define database crd and then the database being provisioned for them. Super powerful!
