Tor circuits (a "way" through the Tor network) and thus nodes are entirely chosen by clients based on the consensus given by dirauths (see my earlier post). The ExcludeNodes statement you use basically instructs the Tor *client* part not to use the specified nodes in their circuits.
If you run a relay, you don't have to undertake any action because of Heartbleed except rotating your keys (deleting all keys in DataDir/keys), updating OpenSSL and restarting Tor. (Moritz Bartl sent an E-Mail to tor-relays explaining all this in great detail on 4/8/2014: "Relays vulnerable to OpenSSL bug: Please upgrade")
