Well, both parameters are different and have different usage.

db_writer_processes will let you know how much db writer process are used
for your I/O.

filesystemio_options let you know you want to use async I/O or serial. If
it's et for async and that is not supported by OS then oracle
will probably make serial or initiate small process for I/O to simulate
async effect.
