You'll need to get the latest MSP430 USB Developers Package first:

http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSP430_USB_Developers_Package/latest/index_FDS.html

It has some documentation inside. It is not as easy as you may think though. Start from CDC class first, at least you can use standard Hyperterminal or TeraTerm on your Windows PC side. Then you can move to the HID class.

USB DevPack includes ready to use examples which you can compile and download to your MSP device. You may start with CDC echo example, it implements both ways communication between MSP430 and PC.

This document is also very useful for starting USB development:
