Is pastry margarine used for puff pastry because it freezes well or has high melting point?

Pastry margarine performs better than butter in making puff pastry because of its high melting point. It does not melt quickly, thus allowing time for the puff pastry dough to rise sufficiently high while not making it heavy and soggy. Then as the temperature increases, the pastry margarine will then melt and infuse into the risen pastry, giving it its scrumptious flavor.

Is dough pastry made with margarine or butter?
Pastries are typically made with butter because it makes them quite flaky and they brown well. ALso, since the other ingredients in most types of pastry are just flour and salt (and maybe yeast), butter has a lot to do with the flavour. Margarine based pastry will taste different and may not be quite as flaky. Good quality bakeries probably only use butter, while a lot of commercial products are made with margarine or other fats/oils. Read the lable to find out.

How is pastry made from margarine different from pastry made from butter?
Produces a less 'short' and less flaky result as the fat content is lower. May also rise / have less air separation between the layers (for example in puff pastry) due to the difference in the amount of water that is present and available for evaporation. The pasty may feel denser in texture and more solid in the mouth than pastry made with butter.
