If an opponent animates a manland (ie: mutavault, celestial colonnade etc) on my turn and I exile it with hurl through hell, can I then play that land if I haven't played one previously that turn? I'm just wondering why this card says "cast" instead of "play" if it's not always targeting a creature card.
No. With Hurl Through Hell, you can't play any card as a land, but can only cast it as a spell (review C.R. 701.4, 701.14). (Note that many spells or abilities allow you to "play" a card you exiled, but in most cases the spell or ability doesn't care about the card type of the object exiled this way. Compare Hurl Through Hell with Primordial Mist, and compare the first and third abilities of Chandra, Heart of Fire.)
Interesting. I was also wondering if that meant you could only cast creature sides of DFC cards as well like Tangled Florahedron, so that answers that.

To be clear, with Hurl Through Hell you can cast either the front face or the back face of a modal double-faced card, even if that face isn't a creature, but not if that face is a land (C.R. 712.7; see also C.R. 305.9). For example, if that card is Extus, Oriq Overlord you can cast the back face, Awaken the Blood Avatar, which is a sorcery, with Hurl Through Hell.

That's good to know!
Edit: Hurl Through Hell sounds like a great name for a death metal album
