The HP filter simply provides detection for the switch. If you
wanted to vocode the word "shemp," for example, and were using synth
strings as an input, the vocoder would detect the "sh" and switch to
internal noise as the input, then would fall back to the synth string
input for the "emp" portion.

That was off the top of my head, as it has been over 20 years since I
built a vocoder. A report I wrote as part of my college graduation
requirements is around here someplace and would have the correct
value. If I find it, I'll send the correct number, but I'm pretty
sure it would be around 12 kHz.
