System Information
Operating system: Darwin-19.6.0-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.92.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-09 07:11, hash: blender/blender@10f44a4135
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
In this page:

Cast Modifier

You will find this text under the heading: Axis

Toggle buttons to enable/disable the modifier in the X, Y, Z axes directions (X and Y only for Cylinder cast type, since the Z axis remains unaffected).

is NOT quite TRUE.

First, the shape using only X, Y tends to be 'Circular' (no vertical dimension) and not 'Cylinder' (with vertical dimension)
Second, the Z WILL produce effects if you have an object in the field of 'Object'.

See this test file of mine (you probably have to switch UI interface language back to English. I was in Vietnamese mode when working on this file):

The "Cylinder" in the documentation refers to the Shape that you can select in the modifier options. The test file you attached uses the default "Sphere", but if you switch to "Cylinder", there is indeed no difference between having the Z axis switched on or off. It looks to me that the documentation is correct.
