Ah, you are right: word-space is used for arranging \line etc but not
for literal " ".

So you'd see it used when writing stuff like (implicit \line):

\version "2.19.64" 
\score { 
        << 
                \relative { g'1 } 
                \addlyrics {
                  \override LyricText.word-space = #9
                  \markup { Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine }
                } 
        >> 
}
