No, it is a channel variable. The __ on the beginning means it will be
inherited by any channels created from the channel it was set on.

See the section called "Inheritance of Channel Variables" on
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variables

In fact you will find that there is a LOT of useful info on that site.
