You can absolutely use the Horizontal E-Tracks # EM59150 that you referenced in your enclosed trailer with 4 of the Wood Beam Sockets # 59149 to create a shelf. There isn't any structural benefit to using vertical E-tracks for this application over the horizontal tracks you are wanting to use. Vertical mount tracks would just allow for a bit more versatility as you could lower or raise the shelf if desired (but in your setup you could move it forward or back).
The holes on the brackets themselves are indeed to allow you to secure the lumber in place with some 1/4 inch diameter bolts.
