You are missing something. ;-) Here is what the YANG ID says (section
7.15):

   The "augment" statement allows a module or submodule to add to the
   schema tree defined in another module or submodule.

And section 3:

   o  augment: Adds new nodes to a previously defined node.

And section 4.2.8:

   YANG allows a module to insert additional nodes into data models,
   including both the current module (and its submodules) or an external
   module.  This is useful e.g. for vendors to add vendor-specific
   parameters to standard data models in an interoperable way.

   The "augment" statement defines the location in the data model
   hierarchy where new nodes are inserted, and the "when" statement
   defines the conditions when the new nodes are valid.

There are also examples. An augment of foo-cont simply sticks nodes
into the foo-cont container; there is no new instantiation of
foo-cont.
