ROH saw enough in her as a potential big star that they revived their women's division after signing her and laid the foundation for their eventual partnership with Stardom and Women of Honor championship belt. Only other female star with as much importance to ROH's women division in recent years is Sumie Sakai.
I hear what you're saying, but I think we disagree on the semantics of "big star." And I think you're putting the cart before the horse in relation to them basing this division around her. Are you sure it's a case of "This Purrazzo woman is AMAZING! We NEED to build an entire division around HER!" and not "We're going to do something with women. Which women are available to us?" And if she was that valuable, wouldn't she be under some sort of fixed contract? I knew that ROH finally got a women's champion, but I didn't realize that it was drawing them any big money or anything.

That's pretty much the reason they signed her for in 2015. She was used as a showcase for women's wrestling in ROH and eventually lead to bigger things for them afterwards.

In terms of status or drawing power, they are probably comparable to early NXT's women's era or TNA/Impact's early Knockouts era. Its something still building up its rep and hasn't reached a critical Sasha-Bayley NXT moment yet.

At least with her last contract, it was a fixed one but for some reason ROH also included an opt out clause for her. She might also be more of the Kota Ibushi type in terms of sticking around in companies.

That's mainly due to ROH's booker being terrible with his handling of it to the point there were rumors Stardom was considering backing out of their partnership deal.

What big things though? By your own admission of the terrible booking, it's been a non-factor. She's been there three years and I've barely even heard of her. I was at least interesting enough in the NXT and TNA women to check them out. Nothing besides screen-grabs of Emma have made it into my scope. It sounds like she's just a talent that was hired because they wanted women as another gimmick on the show. Which is fine and fair enough, but I don't think it's "big" or "important" in any sense of the world compared to anything else. Just like the six-man tag belts they've got there aren't a big deal. Or the ROH World Title really isn't a big deal. What in ROH is even big?
