Default wood putty before or after staining


I've always filled holes, sanded smooth and then stained.

So I bought sandable stainable wood filler by DAP. Feels and acts like wood! This one:

But on the can, the instructions say stain the wood first. How does that make sense? My plan was to fill in a couple places where
I had two and then stain the whole thing. What would be the point if I stain my natural pine a reddish tone and then fill the
holes with this pine-colored wood filler?

Thanks!
