Yes.

Many applications have configuration files. Historically these files were placed in your home directory aka "on the floor". The variable mentioned defines a directory where these files should go. Many applications ignore this.

A non-linux version of this meme might go,

"Here is the pizza you ordered"

"Great, could you put it in my hands"

"Lol (throws pizza on floor)"
